Complaints 

  

In this section you'll find information and the forms you'll need if you want to file a complaint alleging unethical conduct by an attorney, judge, or court employee.  However, please review the relevant code of ethics before you file a complaint: 

  

  

 

  

When preparing your complaint, please: 

  • Provide specific facts about the incident or conduct that is the basis for your complaint.
  • If possible, refer to specific ethical rule you believe was violated. 

  

Please Note:  If the sole basis of your complaint is that you disagree with the outcome of a case, filing a complaint is not the way to proceed.  Complaint forms and procedures are not a substitute for an appeal and they will not alter the outcome of a court order or judgment.  If your purpose is to have a higher court review the merits of an order or decision, you should file an appeal.
