Our mission is to pursue grievance complaints and in doing that to provide assistance to both clients and lawyers in making the lawyer grievance process work. We cannot offer legal advice, nor can we help someone to file a grievance. However, once a grievance complaint has been filed, and it is determined that there is probable cause that one or more of the rules governing lawyer conduct has been violated, we become involved. We also have the ability to attempt to resolve grievance complaints by agreement. Our office is open during usual business hours, or you may e-mail us or leave a voicemail after hours.
