Step 1: The Grievance & CAAP
The process begins with the filing of a written grievance. The Client Attorney Assistance Program (CAAP) initially reviews the filing to determine if it should be classified as a "Complaint" or an "Inquiry." Only matters classified as Complaints move forward to the investigative stage.
Step 2: Investigation & Just Cause
Once classified as a complaint, the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel (CDC) investigates the matter to determine if there is "Just Cause" to believe professional misconduct occurred. The attorney is required to respond to the allegations during this phase.
Step 3: Litigation & Hearings
If Just Cause is found, the attorney can choose between an Evidentiary Hearing before a grievance committee or a Trial in District Court. This is where evidence is presented, and the ultimate determination of misconduct is made.
Step 4: Public Sanctions
If misconduct is proven, sanctions range from Private Reprimands (not visible to the public) to Public Reprimands, Suspensions, or the ultimate penalty: Disbarment. Our directory focuses on providing transparency for these public records.
