When you file a complaint against an Oregon attorney,
include at least two copies of your complaint. Demand that the
Oregon State Bar stamp "Received by the Oregon State Bar"
or some such language. Put an envelope inside your packet to the Bar
with enough postage so that the stamped copies can be mailed back to
you. Write you address on the envelope so they can mail the stamped
complaint copies back to you. Send one of the original stamped copies to me and I will post your privileged, public record complaint on Oregon State Bar Reporter (not affiliated with Oregon State Bar) e mail for my address (see Ramstead v. Morgan 219 Or 383, 347 P2d 594, 598 (1959) If the Oregon State Bar attempts to summarily dismiss your complaint, ignore you or attempts to sweep your Constitutionally mandated right to Petition [Amend. 1] under the rug GIVE ME A COPY OF THAT DOCUMENT AS WELL. When that happened to me I filed a new document to appeal the Disciplinary Department's decision. I received a copy of a letter that the Oregon State Bar sent to the Oregon lawyers that under BR 2.5(a) that the matter was submitted to the State Professional Responsibility Board for their further consideration. These lawyers were then told that they submit "whatever information to deem relevant to the Board's review of this matter" and that the Board likes to hear "both sides of the story." This even though the Oregon Bar's Disciplinary Department ignored the initial complaint and dismissed it.
Keep us up to date on what the lawyer files and what you file with the Oregon State Bar. Obtain copies stamped by the Oregon State Bar and I will post them right here for other consumers of legal services to read and learn. If the Oregon State Bar won't do it's job then our job will be to let everyone know that, including our elected State Representatives. Its our courthouse, its our law; it doesn't belong to the lawyers. The law written by our legislature, administered by our judges, courthouses built with our tax money and salaries paid by our tax money; they all belong to you. The buildings, the law, the judges and their assistants; they are only there to serve you. Don't you forget that. We have the power to change what is wrong.
