What struck me about all of the clients who are complaining about lousy lawyers -- why does it appear that none of them sued the attorney for malpractice?

oh come on, mr. violins. we all know that since judges are all lawyers that suing the attorney for malpractice would be useless because the judges would all protect them. and not only that you would have to hire another attorney to help you and after being so traumatized by their last experience with an attorney that would just add needless pain and suffering to their already destroyed lives :eyeroll:
but seriously, i read the article and it seemed like the author had a particular bias in mind to make the disciplinary system look like it protects bad lawyers. however, since we all paid attention in legal ethics class in law school and of course remember all of those legal ethics rules :rofl: we know better. we know that unless you are doing something extreme like using proceeds from cocaine smuggling to bribe the judge to acquit your client that generally lawyers are allowed a second chance after a signle ethical violation. plus how would these nonattorneys and clients realize how bad it is to even get a public reprimand for an attorney.
