If you have a problem with an Oregon attorney, contact the Oregon State Bar, Client Assistance Office.

The Client Assistance Office can also explain general information to you about how the legal system works. If you would like to submit a formal complaint about the attorney, you can submit the complaint in writing to the office as well.
