Filing a Complaint

All complaints regarding attorneys must be received in writing.  Complaints can be filed by any person, not just a client. Complaints can be filed in one of two ways:

(1) By submitting a completed complaint form to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. 

You can obtain a complaint form in person at the offices of the Disciplinary Board or Disciplinary Counsel, or you can call (800) 326-8022 or (504) 834-1488 to request that one be mailed to you.

The complaint form can also be downloaded here. This form requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded here.

Once you obtain a complaint form, please complete it in full.

(2) By writing a letter to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel including your name, address and telephone number. Describe what the lawyer did or failed to do and include all important information, including attorney name, address, phone numbers and dates of events. If letters, agreements or other documents are available, submit them to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel.

All complaints must be sent to the following address:

OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL
4000 S. Sherwood Forest Blvd., Suite 607
Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70816

The phone number for the office is (225) 293-3900

 

If more information is needed, it will be requested. If you have difficulty in writing, a personal interview may be arranged after your written complaint is filed.
