A: This may be a professional misconduct referral. There is not enough information here to discern whether this is a legal malpractice issue, or a breach of professional ethics. If this is an ethics issue, then you should make a complaint to the Office of Attorney Regulation COunsel. If this is an issue that caused you damages, you should contact an attorney practicing legal malpractice for a consultation. But again, more information is needed.
