For example, if you believe the lawyer has lied to you, clearly state that you believe they have been dishonest. An easily understood statement of facts that back up your complaint.
The Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE) serves as the investigative and prosecuting arm of the Supreme Court on issues related to attorney misconduct. The office helps discharge the court's responsibility to supervise and discipline New Jersey attorneys.
The most common penalties for violating ethical rules are disbarment, suspension, and public or private censure. Disbarment is the revocation of an attorney's state license, permanently rendering the attorney unqualified to practice law.
