What matters are not investigated by the Board?

The Board does not investigate possible violations of constitutional rights, errors in judgment, isolated mistakes by lawyers, disputes about fees, rude behavior, or adverse legal outcomes that do not include possible ethical misconduct. The Board does not address claims of ineffective assistance of defense counsel in criminal matters. Those claims should be presented to the Courts of Iowa, which are the proper forums to handle such issues.
