>>I’m sure physicians in NY are more than qualified to opine on the ills of the Texas Bar Association.

And yet there are so many non-physicians here qualified to comment on physicians.

Your state Bar association gave you a non-helpful response?

Lucky you.

My state Bar didn't even respond to my complaint.

Anon 12:09 let me get this right. First you state “go to the public library” when it is pointed out the lack of internet access in Texas. Then when it is pointed out that most people don’t actually “set foot” in the library you tell them to rely on the TV or internet. Do you actually think before you type? Just how far do you have your head up your butt anyways? The more important question is not when “you physicians have actually been to a public library lately” rather how often does John Q Public go to the public library? If you had any clue about “customer service” yourself you would know that is the relevent question. The last issue about “picking up the telephone” is an outright LIE. I HAVE called my state’s bar about a specific lawyer and was specifically told they could give me no information besides what is on the (useless) website.

The Texas bar association behaves like an organized crime entity. Which for many of its members, it is.

You're right about Texas.

I felt a funny crinkling sound when I sat on the chair, and there it was, right under the seat cushion.

I know about customer service all right. I did have reason to file a complaint with the Bar once. They never responded, of course.

You guys are SO right. People in this day and age have no access to televisions or the Internet.

Some states, like Texas, even require attorneys to have a brochure in their office explaining to clients how to make a grievance.

Each state is different. In some states you can find little about doctors, and much about attys. In others it's the reverse. You guys should settle down.

If you want to find out if an attorney has been sanctioned, all you have to do is pick up the phone.

I'm also wondering if any of you physicians have actually been to a public library lately. They're quite easy to navigate and have lots of people eager to help you. I know, given your lack of customer service knowledge, that such a concept is foreign, but it does still exist.

ROFL!

And you wonder why the legal profession is held in such contempt.

“You really think that’s making the information easily accessible to the public?”

Actually I do. Why don’t we compare what percentage of the public has internet access to what percentage has been to the library in the last 6 months. For “the public” the internet is the closest thing to a library they are actually going to use. Anymore platitudes and excuses?

Again, like the old saying about lawyer jokes. Lawyers don’t think they’re funny, and non-lawyers don’t think they’re jokes.
