To file a complaint:\n\nhttp://www.calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_generic.jsp?cid=10179&id=1144\n\nIn the event the above link does not work, go to \nhttp://www.calbar.ca.gov/\nclick on "Public Services" (left side of page);\nin the list you'll see "file a complaint against an attorney" (click on it).\nYou'll get info - also to the left, you'll see a link for the "complaint form" and FAQs.\n\n{I may be back with more info in a few minutes.]\n\nOK, this is what I was going to come back with:\n\nToday, most lawyers (I believe) are members of the American Bar Association.  I checked their website.  They refer complaints to the state - and to the address, basically, that I already gave you.  However, here is some info -- names, fax numbers, etc., that might get you started:\n\nDirectory of Lawyer Disciplinary Agencies (webpage):\nhttp://www.abanet.org/cpr/regulation/scpd/disciplinary.html\n\nIt gives these two addresses with phone/faxes:\n\nState Bar of California\n1149 South Hill Street, 10th Floor\nLos Angeles, CA 90015-2299\n213/765-1468\nFAX: 213/765-1029\nWebsite: www.calbar.ca.gov\n\n\nState Bar of California\n180 Howard Street, 6th Floor\nSan Francisco, CA 94105-1639\n415/538-2063\nFAX: 415/538-2214\n\n\nWrite one or both (make some noise).\n\nGood luck.

Check with your local bar association.  They will be able to refer you to an attorney.  You can also ask the bar abot whether an attorney has been sanctioned (found to have done something wrong/unethical), depending on the state.  Lastly, you can check the attorney against Martindale, an attorney rating system based on experience that also gives you the attorney's credentials.

If you simply want to have the lawyer disciplined, you would simply call the state bar association in Illinois.  They will provide you with a referral to the appropriate discipliary comittee.\n\nSome (not all) state bars provide some compensation on their own for people who were harmed by bad lawyers.  But if you want to sue for malpractice, you'll need to get a lawyer of your own.

An estate or family law lawyer can help.  Call your local Bar Association for a listing of attorneys in your area.

Look up the telephone number of the Texas Bar Association.  (I am assuming that as in PA they have what we call The Lawyer Referral Service).  They can provide you with a low cost referral to an attorney for a consultation.  You may also find in your yellow pages (as in PA) that there are display ads for attorneys who provide a free consultation on your problem.  I don't think pro bono services are easily located except in some types of legal disputes (medical malpractice and injury is an area where one might find one more easily).  I suggest otherwise that you get on line and look up attorneys and attempt to find one who might be interested.  Good luck.

1.  If you don't have an attorney, hire one.  It may be that you are doing something incorrectly and the judge can not under the law do what you want because you are not following some procedural rule.\n2.  If that's not the problem, every state has a formal judicial oversight  board/commission or something.  Usually its attached in some way to the state's highest court.  Go to your state's highest court's website and see if there is a link.\n3.   Alternative: Go to your state's Bar's web site see if there is a link, if not, contact the Bar's complaint line and the operator will be happy to refer you over to the judicial board.

There are 2 distinct actions.  In most states, there is a Bar Association.  Locally, you can request papers to file a grievance against you lawyer and ask for money back.  This is a fee committe and a good step to do.  Secondly, there is a Chief Disciplinary Counsel or something like that connected with the Supreme Court of the State for disciplining lawyers.  Again, you reqest the form for filing the report.

If you contact the Law Society and make a complaint through there first, they may be able to help, or at least point you in the direction of someone who can!

Sorry for your loss.  Best bet is to find another attorney.  And if you first attorney seems to have done something unethical, report him to the local bar.  You may want to consult with a new attorney before you do that.

If its in response to a ruling of his, you can appeal to another court. IF its a complaint against a judge himself, try speaking with your state's Bar Associaton. Judges were once lawyers and are STILL subject to the rules governing them. Even if not, its still a good place to start. Good luck
