lawyer discipline and complaints

can a lawyer refused give a copy of written contract agreement to a client if this lawyer had accepted our money? we've requested copy of our contract agreement for more 5 weeks already from now. I've found out the documents that this lawyer supposed to send out to govement for us he never did. we called him to ask for why. we were told that he sent it to a wrong govement address. we asked him the status for our case, he never give answer but excuse like i am going to do next week and other next week. The only information i have now between this lawyer is the copy of recipt of money order that we made to him. can anyone tell me what should i do in this case?

Re: lawyer discipline and complaints

First, I would address my concerns in writing to the lawyer so that you have it in writing. If you do not get a response to the first letter within two weeks I'd write one more saying this is the last chance to avoid a bar complaint. If you still do not get a response I'd complain to the Washington State Bar Association at www.wsba.org. If you have any further questions contact me directly.

At your service,
