COMPLAINT INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If you have a complaint against more than one attorney, use a SEPARATE complaint form for each
attorney, with the details and relevant exhibits attached to each separate complaint. If you are filing more
than one complaint, do not combine your complaint details or your exhibits into one document, or make a
specific comment about a complaint filed against another attorney, or it will be returned to you. We will not
accept complaints against law firms.
2. Send your complaint with an original notarized signature. We will not accept a copy of your signature.
3. State specifically, on each individual complaint, what the attorney did or failed to do which you believe
constitutes unethical conduct, and when it occurred.
4. Attach COPIES of any receipts, contracts, or other documents which are important to the complaint, to the
back of each individual complaint. Keep your own original documents.
5. Please, do not bind your complaint. Type or write your complaint legibly in ink so it can be copied.
6. You may add more pages to this form if necessary.
7. If you believe that drugs, alcohol or mental disability affected the lawyer’s representation, please state what
facts support your belief.
8. This matter is confidential at this stage of the proceedings, until the Disciplinary Commission or Board has
acted.
9. The Alabama Bar Association does not represent you in this matter but acts to investigate complaints on
behalf of the Supreme Court of Alabama.
