How do I submit a complaint to the GA bar association about a lawyer ? -

I retained a lawyer and terminated the contract because he never returned my calls and canceled three appointments. Now I can t get him to give me a refund on my retainer fee.

You should contact the GA bar directly. The numbers for attorney discipline are (800) 334-6865 ext. 720 or (404) 527-8720. It would be helpful if you had the times/dates for your calls, and you may have to give some basic info about your case. Unless the lawyer had a very good reason for cancelling your appointments, this type of behavior is what gets most lawyers in trouble. Calls should be returned within 48 hours and you shouldn t cancel meetings with clients. Good luck.
