LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The State Bar of California today unveiled online complaint forms for attorney misconduct and the unauthorized practice of law, in English and Spanish.
The forms allow consumers to file a complaint by providing basic information about the attorney or an unlicensed legal provider, a description of the complaint and the alleged misconduct, and the ability to include relevant attachments to support their complaint.
The new forms are intended to streamline and simplify the complaint submission process by eliminating the need to print and mail the complaint forms and supporting documents. The forms can be accessed directly from the State Bar's website using any major internet browser.
The State Bar also provides PDF complaint forms for anyone who is unable to file an online complaint. Complaint forms for attorney misconduct or unauthorized practice of law are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Russian.
The forms are located at https://apps.calbar.ca.gov/complaint. For questions call (800) 843-9053.
