Individual Lawyer

We can’t investigate complaints about individual lawyers, but we can investigate complaints about the Law Society of British Columbia.

The Law Society of BC regulates practicing lawyers, and is authorized to investigate complaints about individual lawyers.

If you have already gone through this process and want to make a formal complaint to us, here’s what to do next:

Ask if you can speak with a supervisor or manager about your issue.
Clearly explain what your issue is and what you’d like the outcome to be.
Write down the names of the people you speak with, when you spoke with them and what they said.
Make the conversation about what you need, be persistent but remain calm and polite.
If you are still unsatisfied, ask what appeal and review processes are available and pay close attention to their criteria and deadlines.
