Complaint to bar on rogue lawyer

After the lawyer's response is received, the complaint will be reviewed again. If there is insufficient evidence to merit further investigation, then the case will be closed, and you will be notified.

if bar closes the case , then can there be defamation (by lawyer against the complainant) ? 

To constitute the act of defamation there should be (1)  publication of defamatory matter against a person (2) The defamation should have affected  the status and reputation in one form or another  (3)  Thed defamatory matter should be true. since you have complained to the competent authority only for takiing against a lawyer it would not amount to defamation. Hence no defamatory suit is not maintainable. 

If you have facts and documents you need not fear anyone.  Members can not assure anything as to whether file a defamation suit or not, but the fact is that if he is wrong, he may be digging his grave if you have valid evidence.  A bar association is not a court and not the competent authority that has a final say.  Mere filing a complaint based on facts to the competent authority is not defamatory.

Bar Association has no authority to entertain a complaint against any lawyer.

The facts statrd do not suggest any probable cause of action for defamation.

The lawyer had said to me "I have to give money to judge." But I do not have any proof of him having said this(phone recording, etc). If I state this fact before the bar council, can  it be problematic for me ?
