online at http://www.jud.ct.gov/webforms/forms/gc006.pdf
and you can save it. If you cannot fill out the form online,
then fill it out by printing in ink only. If we cannot read
your complaint, it will be returned to you. Please keep a
copy of the complaint for your records.
2. The form must be filled out in English.
3. An original complaint form must be filed by each
complainant (the person making the complaint against the
attorney) and against each attorney.
4. Please attach to your complaint copies of any documents
that are important to prove your complaint. Do not file
originals of the attachments (they will not be returned to
you). Please do not highlight your attachments. Please
do not send CDs or DVDs with your complaint.
5. Each complainant must file an original complaint and 6
copies of each complaint that is filed. This includes
attachments. Attachments must be attached to the
original and each of the copies of the complaint. Each
complaint and set of attachments must be identical and
put in the correct order. If the documents that are filed do
not meet these requirements, they will be returned to you.
6. Do not include personal identifying information or hospital,
psychiatric or medical records with your complaint.
“Personal Identifying Information” is defined in Section
4-7(a) of the Connecticut Practice Book:
Personal identifying information means an individual's
date of birth; mother's maiden name; motor vehicle
operator's license number; Social Security number;
other government issued identification number except
for juris, license, permit or other business related
identification numbers that are otherwise made
available to the public directly by any government
agency or entity; health insurance identification
number; or any financial account number, security
code or personal identification number (PIN).
The use of personal identifying information and hospital,
psychiatric and medical records in grievance matters is
generally prohibited by the Statewide Grievance Committee
and Grievance Panel Rules of Procedure:
Rule 1(F) of the Statewide Grievance Committee
Rules of Procedure:
F. Grievance complaints filed with the Statewide
Grievance Committee must be submitted on form JD-
GC-6 and must contain an original and six copies. Any
attachments must be properly collated and attached to
the original and each copy of the complaint. Grievance
complaints and their attachments must not include
personal identifying information as defined by Section 4-7
(a) of the Connecticut Practice Book or another person's
hospital, psychiatric or medical records. The Complain-
ant must redact [black out parts of] the complaint and
its attachments to remove any personal identifying
information. A Complainant who wants to file another
person's hospital, psychiatric or medical records must say
in the complaint how the documents are relevant and will
help prove the complaint. The proposed hospital,
psychiatric or medical records accompanying the
complaint must be submitted in a sealed envelope labeled
“proposed hospital, psychiatric or medical records.” If the
complaint is forwarded to a grievance panel for
investigation under Section 2-32(a)(1) of the Connecticut
Practice Book, the grievance panel will review the
statement and follow Rule 1(I) of the Grievance Panel
Rules of Procedure. If the Complainant is Disciplinary
Counsel, the Statewide Bar Counsel, the Statewide
Grievance Committee or a reviewing committee thereof,
or a Grievance Panel, then any records, including
hospital, psychiatric or medical records as well as records
containing personal identifying information may be
included in the initial grievance complaint without an offer
of proof. Materials that do not meet these requirements
will be returned.
Rule 1(H) and (I) of the Grievance Panel Rules of
Procedure:
H. Except for materials filed by Disciplinary Counsel, the
Statewide Bar Counsel, the Statewide Grievance
Committee or a reviewing committee thereof, or a
Grievance Panel, no materials sent to the Grievance
Panel investigating the complaint, including, but not
limited to the complaint and the answer shall include
personal identifying information as defined by Section 4-7
of the Connecticut Practice Book. The person filing any
materials with personal identifying information must
redact them. The Grievance Panel or its counsel may
redact materials that do not follow this rule.
I. Except for materials filed by Disciplinary Counsel, the
Statewide Bar Counsel, the Statewide Grievance
Committee or a reviewing committee thereof, or a
Grievance Panel, no materials sent to the Grievance
Panel investigating the complaint, including the complaint
and the answer, shall include hospital, psychiatric or
medical records. If a Complainant, Respondent or
Disciplinary Counsel pursuing the matter under Section
2-32(f) of the Connecticut Practice Book want to file a
hospital, psychiatric or medical record with the Grievance
Panel, then the record(s) must be filed in a sealed
envelope, that has the case name and number and the
name of the person filing it written on the envelope. The
record(s) must be accompanied by a written statement
explaining how the material(s) is relevant and how it will
help prove the complaint or a defense to the complaint.
Instructions page 2
(1) The Grievance Panel and its counsel will
determine whether the written statement of the person
who filed the hospital, psychiatric or medical record(s)
establishes that the material(s) is relevant and will
help prove the complaint or a defense to the
complaint. If the written statement does not
demonstrate why the hospital, psychiatric or medical
record(s) is relevant and how it will help prove the
complaint or a defense to the complaint, the record(s)
will be returned to the person who filed them, and no
copy will be kept as part of the Grievance Panel's
record.
(2) If the written statement establishes that the
hospital, psychiatric or medical record(s) is relevant
and will help prove the complaint or a defense to the
complaint, then the Grievance Panel will review the
record(s) with its counsel in private. If upon review of
the record, the Grievance Panel determines that the
record(s) is not relevant despite the written statement
of the person filing it, then the record(s) will be retuned
and no copy will be kept as part of the Grievance
Panel's record.
(3) If after reviewing the record(s) in accordance with
subsection (2), the Grievance Panel determines that
the that the record(s) is relevant but more harmful or
prejudicial than helpful in proving the complaint or a
defense to the complaint, then the record(s) will be
returned to the person who filed them, and no copy of
it will be kept as part of the Grievance Panel's record.
If the Grievance Panel decides that the record(s) is
relevant and that it is more helpful in proving the
complaint or a defense to the complaint than harmful
or prejudicial, then it will become a part of the
Grievance Panel record and Grievance Counsel will
give a copy of it to the other participants.
Nothing in this rule prevents a Complainant, Respondent,
Disciplinary Counsel or a witness from raising an objection
to the use of any hospital, psychiatric or medical record.
7. In answering question 2 on the complaint form, give the
name of the attorney, not a law firm who you are making
the complaint against. It will help us identify the attorney
named in your complaint if you give us the attorney's juris
(bar identification) number. You can find an attorney's
juris number at the Judicial Branch website at:
http://www.jud.ct.gov under Attorneys.
8. In answering question 5 on the complaint form, you can
look up a civil or family matter at:
http://civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov/. You can look up a criminal
matter at: http://www.jud.ct.gov/crim.htm.
9. If you answer “Yes” to question 8 on the complaint form,
please attach all bills and requests for payment from the
attorney and proof of the amount you have paid. Please
be sure to attach to the complaint a copy of any fee
agreement that you had with the attorney.
10. Please remember to sign your complaint in blue ink.
Unsigned complaints will be returned to you. The
complaint must be signed by the Complainant or the
Complainant's legal representative (for example:
attorneys and those with powers of attorney). If a
complaint is signed by a legal representative, please
attach proof of that representation to the complaint (for
example: a letter of representation or signed power of
attorney). Grievance Counsel do not have to provide
proof of representation when filing complaints on behalf
of Grievance Panels. If a complaint is filed by a parent or
legal guardian on behalf of a minor child, the person
named as the Complainant should be the parent or legal
guardian and the complaint should be signed by the
parent or legal guardian.
11. Copying and filing the complaint. If you downloaded and
filled out the complaint form online, then copy the
complaint and attachments only (not the instructions) 6
times. If you filled out the complaint form by hand,
remove the complaint from the instructions along the
perforated edge, then copy all sides of the complaint and
attachments only (not the instructions) 6 times. Mail the
original complaint and 6 copies to: Statewide Bar
