To keep you all up to date on the process I launched when I mailed a grievance package against my personal injury lawyers on April 18, 2012, yesterday I got mail\u00a0\u2014 specifically, a pre-printed acknowledgment card (in an impressively forceful font) from the Departmental Disciplinary Committee.

Dear Complainant <\/em>[gee, I have a new title now, to add to my plaintiff title]:<\/em><\/p>\n This acknowledges receipt by the Departmental Disciplinary Committee of a complaint that you have made about an attorney.<\/em><\/p>\n Due to the large volume of complaints filed in this office, it normally takes us between 3- and 45 days from the postmark date on this card to forward further information to you about the status of your complaint.<\/em><\/p>\n Thank you for your patient.<\/em><\/p>\n Very truly yours,<\/em><\/p>\n Office of the Chief Counsel<\/em><\/p>\n So you should expect an acknowledgment ten days or so after you mail your package. If you don’t get one in two weeks, I’d suggest re-mailing the package, with a little cover letter explaining why.<\/p>\n I’m marking my calendar at 30 work days (gotta assume the Committee isn’t working on weekends), when I’ll begin a lookout for further information from them. That will be Friday, June 8.<\/p>\n If you want to catch up on this subject, look through my category “Problems with your lawyer.”<\/p>\n Very truly yours,<\/p>\n The Complainant, i.e., Me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To keep you all up to date on the process I launched when I mailed a grievance package against my personal injury lawyers on April 18, 2012, yesterday I got mail\u00a0\u2014 specifically, a pre-printed acknowledgment card (in an impressively forceful … Continue reading
