The Dept. of Justice in Washington
has an oversight office called
the Office of Professional Responsibility.

When you come into this link below,
be sure to note that the full instructions
and authority is listed on a click tab
on the left side of the screen
called How To File A Complaint.

This filing authority covers all of
the DOJ lawyers in litigation among
other things. You would want this
information in your collection.

The Dept. of Justice puts on a Defense
for the VA in Federal Tort Claims
and probably other things too.

Lawyers who enter Vet cases who
are also from the Dept. of Justice
are under the oversight authority
of this Professional Responsibility
office below.

There is no form for complaints other
than the recommended format that
I have listed in the other Forums
for this category below this one.

I cannot say to you that you will
ever win a complaint at this location.
However, you must go through this
level of filing FIRST before you
can approach the higher level of
congressional oversight committees
and I will give that to you later
on in a separate chat entry.

For now, this filing process here
is exclusively against Dept. of Justice
employees including lawyers at
the agency level.

HI Sue, Yeah your right it's best to go to the agencey first, but in my case that did'nt work, so I went on up the chain as it were, and it still did'nt work.

My congressman here in Texas is Congressman Chet Edwards and he has always been willing to go that extra step to help a veteran. That about the extent of my dealing with congress; oh yeah I have written my other congressman, but they have not shown any interst in my concerns.

I suppose i'm not the only one that thinks this away; the last time I looked the congress had single digit aproval rateing. "This do nothin congress," along with this do everything wrong adminerstration has gotten us into a fine fix.

By the way Sue, you can call me Marv; I would perfer it over dude anytime.

REPLY TO MACAT:

With all due respect Dude, there is not
one single piece of this system working
as it should.

If ya wanna get into the higher oversight
levels into Congress, ya have to go the
agency route first. It is the very first
question they will ask, and if you give
them an answer of NO, then they will
not accept the issue for committee
intervention.

DOJ has full authority over Public
Integrity and you can believe me when
I say that you had better start here
first or your complaint will go nowhere.

Now if you have had major success otherwise,
then by all means do share. If not,
you are only giving a bum steer here
to other Vets by "speculating".

One of the big problems I face out
here Macat is just exactly what you
are doing. Everybody saying 200 different
things, and in the end, the Veterans
are not helped at all. Now I am
passing around what I know from
working Capitol Hill in the flesh
and not through some surrogate.

Thanks, take care.

Hi Sue, I have had some dealing with this, so I will share it. A person needs to file the complaint with the cheif judge/ombudsman of what ever district they filed in; in the case of a lawyer file the complaint with the Bar association.

My experience, with a cheif judge, taught me that a complaint filed against a lower ranking judge under him/her got trashed. They cover each others back all a long climbing the rungs of the justice system. Don't burn any bridges!!!! comes to play here.
