How can i report legal malpractice in california?


how can i report my attorney without hiring a legal malpractice lawyer? and how can this affect my current case?

First, if you are unhappy with your legal representation, you should find new legal representation. I don't understand why would complain about your attorney, yet you still haven't fired him or her.

Second, you can file a complaint with the State Bar of California if you are believe your attorney has violated an ethical standard imposed upon attorneys licensed in California. Keep in mind that the State Bar of California cannot do anything if you are simply unhappy with your attorney or if you had a disagreement with your attorney. A violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct and/or the State Bar Act is required.

The State Bar of California provides a complaint form you can use. They also provide a toll-free number you can use to ask more questions. A link to the complaint form, the toll-free phone number, and other information regarding the complaint process can be found at the link below.

Legal malpractices can be reported to the bar association or filing a case in court so that the appropriate penalty will be meted on the concerned lawyer.
