Attorney Disciplinary Matters

Contact the staff member below for information related to public disciplinary sanctions entered against attorneys and general information about the attorney grievance process.

Please note that the Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel is required to keep disciplinary case information confidential unless it has been filed in district court or resulted in a public sanction.
