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. As a result, the office is typically unable to discuss or confirm the existence of pending grievances. Learn more about the grievance process.
