Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel   How to File a Complaint
Against an Attorney

Instructions for Filing

Be sure to give the full and complete name of the attorney about whom you are complaining. Also give his address and telephone number. If you wish to complain about more than one attorney, use a separate complaint form for each attorney. If any of the blank spaces do not apply to your case, write in this particular space N/A (Not Applicable). Be sure to date and sign the complaint form.

On a separate sheet of paper, tell us what your complaint is against the attorney. We also need to know the background of your case: what type of case it is (i.e. divorce, criminal, etc.), when it first started, how you chose the attorney, when you first met with the attorney, what type of agreement you had with the attorney, if the agreement was verbal or in writing, etc., the last date you were in contact with the attorney and what occurred at that time, then tell us in your own words what has happened so far in the case.
