Our sons work offers a place that helps pay for legal help. He was given a name of an attorney in our town. He has been under a lot of stress so he asked both of us (his parents) to accompany him. He talked it all out & the attorney said he would take his divorce case. Our son left & we visited with this attorney for about 5+ minutes. Then the attorney recognized a name we brought up. He said that this lady had asked him to represent his daughter (our sons soon to be ex-wife) but the daughter didn't want him to be her attorney. He said now that he couldn't represent our son! We couldn't believe if he wasn't going to represent these people then why couldn't he represent our son. Come to find out that these people are his friends! These peoples daughter ( our soon to be ex daughter-in-law) text my cell telling me that this attorney e-mailed her mother said we wasted his time, told them I was a "fat *** blue-haired b***h! We were shocked! Why would a professional, who should kept things confident, e-mail a person & tell them about what we talked about, attack my personal features, & say what our son was going to do? Is this something we can file a complaint with the Indiana Disciplinary Commission? I believe they should set this attorney straight & investigate him for unethical behavior. I have the text that was sent to my cell phone to show what we were told by the soon to be ex. She wouldn't have known we went there if this weren't true. I would appreciate any help & hopefully we will not be told to just have to "get over this." When you speak to a professional you do not expect them to blabber mouth it to others!

The attorney was in the right to not represent your son. Since the attorney did not take on your son's case and nothing was sign, nothing can be done. It was NOT unethical.
That would be the same as a judge excusing himself from a case brought before him if he knew the defendant
This is called a conflict of interest and you have no gripes, he did what was best
If he did represent you and things didn't go your way, then you could back and say he showed favoritism
And until you actually saw the so called text messages between the lawyer an her you have no idea if anything was said, sounds like she is just a trouble maker who got your goat
If you can prove he actually said that (which you can't) then you may have a case of some sort with the state bar, but she got you and you fell for it
If your son belongs to this legal assistance group there is more than one attorney on it and to be 100% honest, these so called lawyer group attorneys are not very good anyway, if they were why would they belong to an association where they work for almost nothing and not a power house law firm? (just something to think about)
Well, you can report it. And if the lawyer has had other problems with other clients then the bar might act on it.
But here's the thing. He told the mother who told the daughter who told you. That's hearsay It's really nothing more then gossip.
I don't think the lawyer said all that. Divorce gets mean and nasty and people will exaggerate and out right lie.
Let's start with the mother. Assume for a moment that the lawyer did say those things to her. I'm sure he said them to a friend, in confidence. I'm sure he had no intention of having his remarks passed on to you. So, at the very least we can say that the mother is a poor friend and someone who can't be trusted.
Now we've established that the mother can't be trusted. So we can't believe what she says. And I would make the same argument about the daughter.
I believe the lawyer said that you where there, which he probably shouldn't have done. But I doubt that the lawyer called you a b****. I think it's more likely that your in laws are trying to stir up trouble and cause a fight.
Unless you really believe that your in laws are of high moral character and wouldn't lie to you.
Addition. Even if you believe your in laws that the lawyer said that, the state bar is going to believe the same thing I believe. That divorce is nasty and it's more likely that the in laws lied. Unless you have absolute proof, then you really have nothing.
If the lien against your assets became recorded after the quest became finished the criminal professional isn't at fault. How is the guy submitting declare on your assets? Did you no longer pay a contractor or your taxes? or became there a loan from the people you acquire the valuables from nonetheless on it? if so it is going to have been payed off on the final and the call corporation can challenge a carry threat unfastened.
Grow up. Seriously. You have no right to not be offended. File the complaint if you wish. It will be denied. I bet a weeks pay there's much more to this than you're telling...like why sonny boy can't fight his own battles?
