The Attorney Grievance Commission oversees the conduct of both Maryland lawyers and nonmembers of the Maryland Bar who engage in the practice of law in the State.  The Commission investigates and, where indicated, prosecutes attorneys whose conduct violates the Maryland Lawyers Rules of Professional Conduct as well as those engaged in the unauthorized practice of law.  The Commission, through Bar Counsel, reviews notifications of overdrafts on attorney escrow accounts and responds to petitions for reinstatement to the Bar.
