HISTORY OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST BC LAWYERS
There are about 8330 practicing lawyer/members of the British Columbia Law Society
Complaints against BC lawyers run about 1500 a year.
This is indicative of a general dissatisfaction with the service being provided. In private industry, complaint levels this high would cause heads to roll.
However, of all the complaints received only about ten percent will ever get as far as a discipline hearing in British Columbia.
The rest will be dismissed or closed at the preliminary stages
