Thank you! In the past I have not had good luck when seeking Mr. Waddle's assistance. That is a nice way of saying he is not always very helpful or nice to people who actually speak with him.

Lol, this makes me feel like riding by a courthouse and chuckling at it. (and Thank ya, Thank ya verrry much!)

I had to file a complaint once and Waddle was a complete Jacka$$.

Many have the opinion that once Waddle talks "at" the people who call the bar for assistance it greatly decreases the number of written complaints, along with exacerbating the negative opinions that the general public holds of the legal profession in general.
By the time a complainant gets off the phone with that fellow, they realize that there concerns will fall on deaf, if not hostile, ears.

Even the commission on judicial performance puts its complaint forms online.

I have no respect for the bar whatsoever. Why should I when they don't even respect themselves? Notice how many lawyers blew off the bar in the sanctions I posted a few weeks ago? Should be an automatic 60 day suspension if a lawyer does not respont to a bar complaint or show up at the hearing.

Glen Waddle is an idiot.

I had the pleasure of seeking his assistance just one time. About halfway through the "conversation", I stopped him, thanked him for his time and hung up. No need to waste anymore of my time than I had already. He was just that useless

Makes one wonder if the almighty "Bar" has him in that role for a reason. Seems a shame that his poor attitude is the one that "greets" the public who have complaint questions?

I think 7:16 has hit the nail on its proverbial head. Nobody is this stupid - it HAS to be a deliberate policy.

Not sure if it is still the case but in 2007, you had to call Waddle and request a complaint form, and he would send you one if he felt that it was warranted. You could only submit on an original from the bar all others would be returned as a void complaint. So that is the justice that you get, first you have to have the bar's permission to file a complaint and then you have to give them your name and address so that they can mail you the original form that you must fill out and submit to them.
Seems that it is more protection for the attorneys then for the ones that are/feel like they have been wronged.

I had a lawyer threathen to break my finger right after he lost a TRO against me. I called Mr. Waddle and yes he is very rude and makes you feel like your complaint is silly. Well, I for one do not feel that a lawyer who threathens to break a persons finger in court should be allowed to practice law! But what do I know I'm no lawyer but if I threathen my clients I would be fired from my job asap! Did I mention the lawyers name is Edward Rainer and he is a poor excuse for a lawyer.

you're lucky to be alive. not too many survive the threat of a broken finger and live to tell about it. let's only hope that the nightmares dissipate over the years. i once had a drive thru attendant make a face at me and i was never the same.

Yet another fine example of a professional...sorry to hear that a person of this highly regarded profession would resort to threats of bodily harm. Its called a threat, and it is a criminal act. You can go down to the police station fill out an affidavit and have him picked up. You can even make it up as one attorney has done in my realm of experience and get away with it, because, "they are a member of the bar."

Glen Waddle is NOT an idiot! Actually, it would take about 4 more of him to make a single decent idiot. Waddle as about as useful as a set of double d breast on the bottom of a box turtle. Seriously, have him rendered into pet food or bio diesel. I always wondered who gave that fat bastard the job at the bar... He damn sure was not worth another in private practice.

FWIW, I think Ed Rainer is a great guy and a hell of an attorney!I can't see him breaking a finger....neck MAYBE...finger..never.

Mississippi Bar Attorney Complaint Form...just making sure we get the keywords in there for those who search for it.

Jimmy, you looking for clients? Let us know your area of specialty.

All of this discussion has me thinking, is there civil liability that attorneys are exposed to if they are, in fact, publicly or privately reprimanded? Is there ANY firm in MS that could focus and make a pretty decent living on this? This might be the best way to self police....
