disappointed & poor representation

This lawyer represented a family member of mine. When I questioned or asked him certain questions his answers were vague a little suspect if that is the right term to used. I have to agree with the other review that he was quick to settle the case. Now I wonder how I can report him in Virginia. I am... sure they are many others that feel the same. He needs to be reprimand in all states that he practices. Someone needs to look into all his cases going back at least 5 or 6 years.
