It is important before hiring any lawyer to contact the lawyer disciplinary agency in the state where the lawyer maintains a business address to confirm that the individual is in good standing as a member of the bar. An online listing of each state's lawyer disciplinary agency may be found at: http://www.abanet.org/cpr/regulation/scpd/disciplinary.html
The American Bar Association (ABA) attempts to limit this database to those lawyers who are in good standing as members of the bar: http://www.abanet.org/premartindale.html
The Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory provides extensive information on law firms and individual lawyers such as educational background, practice areas, and associations to which a lawyer belongs: http://www.lawyers.com/

Disciplinary actions generally begin with the licensing agency for any given type of profession. Start by checking with your state's Bar Association to see if your problems are actionable.
