Discipline
an Attorney
|
Every state has a way of disciplining lawyers who are unprofessional and/or unethical. It all starts with a
complaint. In some states the Bar Association handles the
complaint, in other states it's handled by the state's Supreme Court.
Most
states have websites giving complete
information about how to file that complaint. Some of the websites
have forms you can print out and send in. Other states just have an address you can
send a letter to, or request a form. Your complaint may or
may not be investigated, but your voice will be heard. Select your
state to begin:
