text: You can generally file a bar/judicial board complaint against your attorney for:\n1. Incompetence\n2. Unethical behavior\n3. Failure to perform the duties a lawyer must perform according to your state's Attorney's Ethical Code. (One example: taking a client's money and doing nothing and/or failing to do that which was agreed to do in the attorney-client contract or retainer agreement)\n\nYou can generally only sue if you suffered some type of measurable damage or economic loss or seek some type of injunctive relief.
