Where can I find disciplinary actions for my lawyer? -

I m going to retain a lawyer and need to find out if he is any good, or has had any complaints, disciplinary actions, etc. His firm is located in Dallas Tx

It is important before hiring any lawyer to contact the lawyer disciplinary agency in the state where the lawyer maintains a business address to confirm that the individual is in good standing as a member of the bar. An online listing of each state s lawyer disciplinary agency may be found at: http://www.abanet.org/cpr/regulation/scp... The American Bar Association (ABA) attempts to limit this database to those lawyers who are in good standing as members of the bar: http://www.abanet.org/premartindale.html The Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory provides extensive information on law firms and individual lawyers such as educational background, practice areas, and associations to which a lawyer belongs: http://www.lawyers.com/

Disciplinary actions generally begin with the licensing agency for any given type of profession. Start by checking with your state s Bar Association to see if your problems are actionable.

Contact the AMA, American Bar Association.

Ask the local bar association.
