Under the Supreme Court Rules ODC cannot reveal an attorneys non-public disciplinary history.  Thus, ODC can not state (1) that no complaints have ever been filed against an attorney or (2) that any complaints have been dismissed.  ODC may only reveal whether an attorney has ever been publicly disciplined.

In addition to its authority to impose a private reprimand, the Disciplinary Board may, in more serious cases, sanction an attorney with a public reprimand -- with the consent of ODC and the respondent.  Other recommendations for public discipline such as disbarment, suspension, censure or reprimand must be submitted by the Disciplinary Board to the Supreme Court.
