Client Relations

The Orange County Bar Association investigates and, if possible, resolves problems between clients and their Orange County attorneys. If you have hired an Orange County attorney to represent you and you believe there has been an ethical violation, contact the Orange County Bar Association Client Relations Department for assistance.

The OCBA will investigate your complaint and determine whether it should be referred to the State Bar of California for possible discipline of the attorney. This evaluation process takes an average of three to six months. You will be notified in writing of the results of the investigation. To obtain a complaint form, please
