Re: complaint attorney to attorney

Dear Counsel.Net Friend,

What did the other lawyer threaten to do to your
lawyer? Beat him up? Sue him? I can't imagine how one
lawyer might threaten another lawyer at a court appearance.
Of course, if the other lawyer did something unethical, then
he can be reported to the person or group in your state that
handles ethics complaints against lawyers for some type of
disciplinary action against the offending lawyer. No lawyer
likes to be under the spot-light of the "bar police". In
Louisiana the so-called "bar police" is called the Office of
Disicplinary Counsel (ODC). They are the ones who
investigate ethics complaints against lawyers and take legal
action to have lawyers disciplined in one fashion or
another. If I had more information about what the "threat"
consisted of, then I might be able to give you a better
answer. Good luck to you and your lawyer!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty. - Lake Charles, LA
