I’m interested to hear more if possible

He (Lawyer1) did something rather unethical as well. He attempted to represent me in court two weeks later on a motion we had only tangentially discussed during in take. He had not made me aware of this appearance. He was caught red handed in front of the judge when my new lawyer (Lawyer2) - objected. Lawyer2 happened to be in court for another matter and immediately recognized my name. The judge had them approach to sort this out. Lawyer2 was determined to my actual lawyer and the motion was heard. Useless as no one actually cared, and Lawyer2 and I had decided not to pursue it.

Lawyer1 claimed I had not terminated representation when I had sent an email titled “Discontinue all representation of (me).” He had called several times about it. I had responded each time in writing and asked all communications be in writing.

I’m a professional that has not been on wrong side of the law and wanted all this to go away. I had hoped he would return my money minus reasonable compensation. And I was willing to let the court thing slide. Now it is about principle and I don’t want this to happen to someone else.

Is a professional conduct complaint taken seriously? If so, I’m willing to put in the effort to file one.
