This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
This rule simply points to a standard form that people can use to file a complaint against a lawyer. If you believe an attorney has done something wrong, like mishandling your money, lying to you, or acting unethically, this complaint form is where you would start.
The form is called the Iowa Supreme Court Attorney Disciplinary Board Complaint Form. It gives the disciplinary board a consistent way to collect information about your concerns, such as who the attorney is, what happened, and any details that support your complaint. Using this official form helps make sure your complaint gets properly reviewed by the board that handles attorney discipline in Iowa.
If you have a problem with a lawyer's conduct, filling out this form is the practical first step to get your concerns looked at by the people responsible for overseeing attorney behavior in the state.
