Does anyone know where would I file a complaint of attorney misconduct?

Would it be with the Indiana Bar Association or would it be with the Indiana Supreme Court's Disciplinary Commission? or both?

You can also see whether he/she is in good standing.

I am curious, having worked with the courts-PM me if you care to share who it is.

I think I am going to keep the details confidential for now, at least until the proper authorities have had time to investigate the matter, if they find/rule that there was in fact misconduct on the attorney's part then I'll make the details public.

this is a site where you can see if he has had any other charges pending...if he is in good standing or not.  I also believe that if there are other charges...you can find out what they are.

this is what it says when you look up a name

 

)“Concluded Discipline:” “YES” indicates this lawyer has been the subject of a professional disciplinary proceeding at least once in the past. To get more information about the lawyer’s disciplinary history, contact the Roll of Attorneys Administrator at (317) 232-5861. Without further information, you should not draw any conclusions about past discipline. Some cases end with minor discipline or are dismissed with no discipline.

(**)“Pending Discipline:” A number appearing here indicates the case number of an on-going professional discipline case against this lawyer. The fact that there is an on-going case means that it is alleged that the lawyer committed misconduct, but there has been no decision finding those allegations to be true. By clicking on the case number, you will see a chronological listing of all of the legal filings in that case. A copy of any listed filing is available for a fee by contacting the Roll of Attorneys Administrator at (317) 232-5861.


What??  You can't understand what I am saying? I am speaking plain penguin!!

That is a good plan.

If you have a complaint against a lawyer representing you, this is the agency you need to contact:

Indiana Supreme Court
Disciplinary Commission

Donald R. Lundberg, Executive Secretary
30 South Meridian Street, Suite 850
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Phone (317) 232-1807
TDD for Deaf (317) 233-6111

If you have a complaint against a lawyer(s) representing a municipality or governmental agency, prayer is your best bet.
