Attorneys must provide competent representation, which means they must act with the same level of skill that a reasonable professional with a similar level of training would offer. Incompetence can arise in different ways, including a lack of knowledge or experience. Your matter may involve a highly technical area of law, like securities fraud. If ...
Your attorney should keep you updated on your case so you can make informed decisions. It is only possible to make those decisions if your lawyer informs you of crucial developments or your options. Attorneys should also inform clients of essential dates, like hearing and trial dates. They should tell you when they need information from you and wha...
Attorneys must represent you diligently and thoroughly. Failure to pay proper attention to your case harms your chances of securing a good result. This shortcoming is frequently one of the most substantial reasons to file a complaint against an attorney.
Time is of the essence in a civil or criminal matter. Courts impose deadlines for briefs, set hearings, and keep a strict calendar to keep cases moving forward. Several matters have a statute of limitations, creating a deadline for filing lawsuits. If an attorney fails to act promptly on these aspects, and your case suffers, you likely have grounds...
Your lawyer should give you legal advice, but ultimately, you choose how to proceed. For example, if a settlement offer is made, it is up to you whether to accept it. But if your attorney doesn’t listen to you, there could be a cause of action for a complaint. For example, if you told your attorney a current settlement offer is acceptable, but your...
Your attorney must charge a fair fee and disclose the cost and fee structure before you sign a fee agreement. But if they charge excessive charges and fees that they never explain in the fee agreement, you may have a claim against your attorney.
Every state bar association has a professional code of ethics. One rule consistent across states is conflicts of interest. For example, California’s rulesaddress conflicts of interest with current clients and interests adverse to clients. A conflict of interest could be apparent, like an attorney representing both spouses in a divorce. Others may b...
The attorney-client privilege protects you by keeping everything you tell your lawyer confidential. With minimal exceptions, your attorney cannot disclose anything you have said in confidence once you formed your attorney/client relationship. If your attorney discloses privileged information, you can likely file a bar complaint or civil lawsuit aga...
Attorneys must keep their client’s assets separate from their own. They do this with an attorney trust account, which is a bank account that holds clients’ property or prepaid fees. Personal injury settlements, escrow payments and retainer fees are a few examples of proceeds in an attorney trust account. State bar association rules protect these fu...
If you believe an attorney has acted unethically, you may file a complaint with the certified grievance committee of your local bar association (if there is a grievance committee serving your area) or with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel of the Supreme Court of Ohio.
To file a grievance against an attorney, please contact the Ohio Board of Professional Conduct or the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. The disciplinary process, i.e., a grievance, will not affect or change court or other decisions made in a case.
