Frequently Asked Questions for the Public

What is the Office of Disciplinary Counsel?

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) was created by the District of Columbia 上诉法院 to investigate and prosecute complaints of ethical misconduct against lawyers licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia who violate the D.C. 规则 of Professional Conduct (RPC).

The 规则 describe a lawyer’s obligation to clients, 法院, and the general public in professional and private dealings. The purpose of this process is to protect the public by disciplining lawyers who violate the ethics rules. Our office cannot consider complaints against judges acting in a judicial capacity.

For additional information, see Purpose and 任务.

I am having problems with my attorney. 我该怎么办??

Try to resolve issues with your attorney by communicating your concerns clearly and asking for a response. Your attorney should clearly explain the fee agreement and scope of representation, keep you aware of developments in your case, and respond to any reasonable requests you may have for information.

If you feel that your problem is the result of poor communication or a misunderstanding between you and the attorney, you should have an open talk with the attorney before you file a complaint.

Can you help me contact my attorney?

D.C. 酒吧的寻找会员 feature provides the same publicly available contact information for attorneys that we would be able to share with you. If you are still unable to reach your attorney, you may need to file a complaint with our office.

Is my attorney licensed in the District of Columbia?

D.C. 酒吧的寻找会员 feature enables a search of all attorneys licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia. If an attorney is not listed as authorized to practice law and is advising you about D.C. law or representing you in Superior Court, please contact the Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
