How do I complain about a lawyer's inaction?

You can complain to the law firm where you practice, to the local bar association, or to the local judicial bureau. If a lawyer violates professional disciplines and causes losses to a client, his or her law firm shall be liable for compensation. The law firm will obligate the lawyer to bear part or all of the compensation fees based on the size and severity of the loss. If sanctions need to be imposed, the Lawyers Disciplinary Committee shall impose sanctions in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Lawyers Disciplinary Rules; if criminal laws are violated, the judicial authorities shall investigate criminal liability in accordance with the law.
