How do I make a complaint over my lawyer? -

She was the rudest person i have ever met. I was on the phone with the lawyer and i had asked her for the adjusters # and the very unprofessional lawyer hung up on me!

I m not sure what you describe would be a grievance that could be maintained by a state bar. I agree that you ought to see about another attorney. There are 2 reasons why the lawyer might have reacted that way. First, if you hired her to represent you, you shouldn t be talking to an adjustor without her presence. Second, and more probable, if you have signed a contingent fee contract with the lawyer, she may suspect that your reason for talking to the adjustor is to settle the matter, get the check sent directly to you, and failing to pay her as required by the contract. You could work a deal where the insurance company would pay less, you would recieve more, and the lawyer left holding a bag of air.

You can file a complaint with your quot;State Bar Associationquot;, you can also file a complaint with the quot;Better Business Bureauquot;.

just fire her a get a new one , you don t have to put up with that

write to the bar association

You can file a grievance with the local bar of your state and they will determine if she broke any rules. However, being rude is not an ethical violation.

Based on the information given, it seems less likely a violation of ethics and more a lack of good manners and basic professionalism. Being rude is not an ethical violation. I recommend you get another attorney.
