No. The discipline system for attorneys in Michigan is carried out through the Attorney Grievance Commission and Attorney Discipline Board. The State Bar of Michigan provides only administrative support to the discipline system operations.
Although the State Bar of Michigan does not discipline attorneys, it does provide assistance through its Client Protection Fund to clients who have been victimized by lawyers who violate the profession’s ethical standards and misappropriate funds entrusted to them.
No. Although the Bar cannot offer legal advice, we have lots of help for people looking for legal assistance through our Legal Resource and Referral Center.
