Answer 6

Attorneys are required to follow a code of ethics called the Rules of Professional Conduct. Typically, ethical/misconduct complaints are handled either by a judicial branch, such as your states Supreme Court, or the State Bar. Check the website[s] for the State Bar for your state, or states Supreme Court.

Answer 7

In your letter you must state only the facts. State clearly what you think the attorney did wrong and what you want him/her to do about it. Provide a time limit by which you want a response. For example, you could say that you want a response within 30 days or you will take further action. Keep a copy of the letter and send it by certified mail so that you receive a green card back proving that the complaint was received. Keep the copy and green card in a safe place.

If you do not receive an adequate response to your complaint within the stated time period then file a complaint against the lawyer with your state Board of Bar Overseers (easy to find contact information by doing an internet search for your state) and forward a copy of your lawyer-letter with your complaint.
