Your email addressed to the Office of the Attorney General has been forwarded to the Advocates Complaints Commission to deal. However, it is not clear whether you are referring to a complaint already lodged with the Commission. If you have already lodged a complaint kindly assist or quote the reference or registration number given by the Commission. We have tried going through our records and your name does not appear in them.
As you may be aware the Advocates Complaints Commission is established under section 53 of the Advocates Act to inquire into complaints against advocates, law firms and their employees. After due enquiry, it is mandated to either; reject the complaint, promote reconciliation or encourage and facilitate an amicable settlement or, if a disciplinary offence that is serious or aggravated is disclosed, to file a formal complaint before the Advocates Disciplinary Committee(Tribunal). The Committee is mandated by law to sanction an advocate who has committed professional misconduct.
To enable the Commission effectively deal with your complaint, kindly fill the attached ‘Help form’ and sign it, then scan the signed form and email it to us preferably on this thread and attach a copy of your ID and copies of documents/evidence to support your complaint such as: instruction note to the advocate, Legal fees receipts, correspondence with the advocate, court proceedings, judgement etc.
On receipt of the complaint “Help form” the same will be registered and thereafter assigned to a state counsel to evaluate and advise on the next course of action.
Meanwhile be advised that the Advocates Disciplinary Committee is not a committee under or of the Advocates Complaints Commission.
Thank you,
Advocates Complaints Commission
