I assume that when you wrote 'misrepresentation' you mean malpractice. Your remedies include: a complaint to the State Bar Disciplinary Committee, a lawsuit for legal malpractice, notifying the Office of the United States Trustee in your federal district. There may be others. But before you bring your grievance outside the confines of the lawyer-client relationship, have you tried communicating with your lawyer, setting forth what you think he or she did wrong or failed to do, and giving the lawyer a chance to fix it-or to explain why he or she did not do wrong? That sometimes works, and is the most economical path for everyone.
