Report Legal Misconduct
Choose the type of misconduct you want to report. Our secure platform will guide you through the process and ensure your report reaches the appropriate authorities.
About anonymous reporting
Anonymous filing is available for many report types. Some official complaints — such as attorney, prosecutorial, and judicial misconduct — generally require your name and contact information to be accepted and investigated. Each form clearly tells you what's required before you submit.

Grievances we complete & send for you
Top priorityThe heart of what this platform does. We fill out the exact official New York State form with you, then email the finished packet to you, to the oversight and watchdog groups you choose, and to anyone else you want copied — the easiest, most hands-off way to get your grievance in front of the people who hold agencies accountable.

NY DOCCS Grievance
We complete the full official NY DOCCS grievance form with you and email the finished packet to you, the oversight groups you select, and anyone you choose to copy.
Local Jail / Correctional Facility Grievance
File a grievance about conditions or treatment at a local jail or correctional facility under 9 NYCRR Part 7032.
NY DOCCS Parolee Grievance
File a grievance about parole supervision, conditions, or the conduct of a parole officer.
DOCCS General Inquiry
Submit a general question or concern to the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. For misconduct reports or records requests, use the dedicated OSI or FOIL forms instead.
Where a grievance must be filed through a required facility process (for example, an incarcerated person’s grievance through the facility grievance program), you or your advocate still submit the completed form into that process. We give you the finished, correctly formatted packet and send copies to your chosen recipients and oversight partners so nothing gets lost or ignored.
Filing a FOIL request too?
Records requests strengthen your case. Consider requesting related documents alongside your complaint.
One-click oversight complaints
For these oversight-agency complaints we build a complete packet and give you a pre-filled email or portal link to send it straight to the agency in seconds.
OSI Complaint
Report staff misconduct in a state correctional facility to the DOCCS Office of Special Investigations (OSI).
Attorney Grievance
File a grievance against an attorney for ethical violations. We'll route you to the correct Appellate Division based on county.
Prosecutorial Misconduct Complaint
File a complaint against a New York district attorney or assistant DA with the NYS Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct. Generates an official complaint document you can print and submit.
Judicial Misconduct Complaint
File a formal complaint against a judge with the NYS Commission on Judicial Conduct. Generates an official complaint document you can print and submit.
Filing a FOIL request too?
Records requests strengthen your case. Consider requesting related documents alongside your complaint.
Records requests (FOIL)
Request public records from any New York State or local agency under the Freedom of Information Law. FOIL requests often go hand-in-hand with grievances and complaints — consider filing one alongside your report.
FOIL Request
Create a Freedom of Information Law request to obtain public records related to your case.
Tip: If you're filing a grievance or complaint above, consider also submitting a FOIL request for the records related to your incident — body-camera footage, incident reports, disciplinary logs, and more. Having the records on file strengthens your case.
Resources & guidance
We can't generate a filing for these situations, but we provide the right agency contacts, step-by-step guidance, and know-your-rights information.
Police Misconduct
Report police misconduct. We'll route you to the right agency — NYC CCRB, LEMIO, or local internal affairs.
