One would need details. However, what you're describing is both professional misconduct and malpractice per se in most states. Speak to an attorney who handles personal injury cases. I suggest getting a referral from the COUNTY bar association, as they generally vet a lawyer before putting him or her on the list. And seriously consider engaging a female attorney who is a rape/abuse survivor.

I don't know if state ethic board is the same thing as the State Bar Association, if they are different you could file with them also.
Go after his/her reputation. Contact your local news agencies to see if they have anyone investigating wrong doings.

Its your word against his word. If there are damages you suffered from these allegations, then you could seek legal action. But, be ready to be placed on the stand and hung out to dry. If you're willing to compromise someones reputation because you're angry or vengeful, be prepared to get a taste of the same thing. Be careful what you ask for. I should know because it happened to my father.

Contact your state bar association (or, in some states, your state's supreme court) to lodge your complaint.
Be specific. Be honest (you will be asked about it later.) Be clear in what you say.

Report him to the state bar. There are hotlines for reporting unethical conduct by attorneys.

Your state Bar should have a mechanism for receiving such complaints. Start there.
