Every lawyer’s conduct is governed by the rules of professional conduct and the state bar oversees lawyers and their conduct, as well as complaints about those lawyers. Helena M.

Is there a governing board to lodge an official complaint against a lawyer and/or a Judge? I brought suit against my spouse because I felt our child’s well being was compromised. What I got in return was a horrible twist of what I (and others) feel was prejudice. Now I am forced to live with a judgment that never addressed my concerns. I have lost nearly everything in the fight. I don’t want to loose my daughter. Why can’t my voice be heard?? My concerns continue and I am reminded by my kindergarten aged child nearly every visitation of my failure to get the judge’s attention. At this point I have no trust in our system to effectively govern the lives entrusted to it. As a result my five year old regales me of how good it feels to have an alcohol buzz. The alcohol is but one substance I have demanded the discontinued use without solid medical evidence supporting its use. My lawyer was directed and paid to present these concerns and refused to do so. I was told to “Shut UP!” at my hearing trying to get my lawyer to do something. I have another hearing soon and I plan on going alone without representation. I’m sure this will go over well w/ the Judge. She’ll see me as stupid and broke instead of just broke. So be it. If anyone has made this far, thanks for hearing my story. I could go on and on.
