Lawyer DisciplineOVERVIEW OF ATTORNEY DISCIPLINE SYSTEM

1-800-843-9053 — Attorney Complaint Hotline

Protecting California's consumers is one of the primary missions of The State Bar of California. The mission is principally carried out through the bar's Attorney Discipline System, which takes complaints against attorneys from citizens and other sources, investigates those complaints and prosecutes attorneys against whom allegations of unethical conduct appear to be justified.

The discipline system also assists consumers in dealing with common attorney-client problems that do not rise to the level of grounds for filing a complaint.
