| If an attorney involved in an immigration proceeding violates disciplinary rules, such as by submitting false evidence to a court or an administrative body, disciplinary proceedings may be filed, seeking a formal reprimand, suspension, or even disbarment. The complaint procedure is structured, involving a complaint and official inquiry, followed by additional action, depending upon the outcome of the inquiry. Summary suspension is available against an attorney who has either been suspended or expelled in another jurisdiction or who has been convicted of a serious crime.
