Can you file a Bar Complaint against an attorney who represented the other party?
I understand that some attorney's use tactics to gain favorable orders but if that attorney lies and commits perjury to do so can you file a bar complaint? This attorney has lied in order to gain orders without representing evidence. The attorney continues to state false accusations against me even to obtain orders which ultimately led me to loosing custody of my child. Can you file a bar complaint against them. Can you sue them? I know attorneys use tactics like this especially when they are getting paid alot of money, but not being ethical and just stating blatent lies, can I file a complaint?

You may file a State Bar complaint; if you have a thoroughly researched, meritorious and evidence based complaint, it may gain traction. The State Bar is aware that family law matters are highly contentious so your analysis would have to be spot on.
