FAQ
I have a complaint about a lawyer’s work, conduct or fees. Who should I contact?
You should first discuss with your lawyer any complaint you have about the service you received or the costs. If you are not satisfied with the explanation you may wish to take action. While it is possible to sue your lawyer if you think your case was handled in a negligent manner, most complaints can be directed through the Law Society of New Brunswick.
The PLEIS-NB publication You and Your Lawyer provides an overview of how the Law Society will review your bill and how to register a complaint about a lawyer’s personal and professional conduct.
