Description
ATTORNEY ETHICS GRIEVANCE. This form from the New Jersey Judiciary is used by individuals to file a formal complaint against a specific lawyer whom they believe has acted unethically. The form collects essential information about the person submitting the grievance (the grievant), as well as details about the lawyer in question, including whether the lawyer currently or previously represented the grievant. It also requires the complainant to specify the type of legal case involved, whether it is still pending, and any other related complaints or legal actions that may have been filed with other courts or agencies. The core of the form is the "Nature of Grievance" section, where the grievant must describe, in detail, what the lawyer did or failed to do that they believe violated ethical standards, including dates, locations, and names of witnesses, and attach supporting documentation. The form includes a section on investigative confidentiality, advising the grievant to maintain privacy regarding the process to preserve the integrity of the investigation, and informs them of the legal protections and limitations surrounding statements made during the ethics complaint process. Once completed, the form must be signed and submitted for review, which may take up to 45 days according to the court rule. www.FormsWorkflow.com
