File a Bar Complaint Against Pam Bondi

Claws Out Activity: Bring the receipts, complete the form, and ask for a fair investigation.

Professional accountability should not disappear when a lawyer gets a bigger office. If you want to file a bar complaint against Pam Bondi, turn your concern into a clear account supported by documents. The legal system already has enough performance art. Give it something it can investigate.

This guide covers filing, evidence, privacy, and review of a closure. A complaint asks for investigation. It does not establish guilt or guarantee discipline.

The Correct Attorney and the Existing Complaint

The Florida Bar directory identifies Pamela Jo Bondi as Florida Bar Number 886440. Use that number. Recheck the directory for current contact information before filing. Membership eligibility and disciplinary findings are different things. www.floridabar.org

The May 27, 2026 complaint alleges misconduct involving supervision of DOJ lawyers, prosecutions, court orders, and the Epstein files. These are allegations. Its authors seek investigation after the Bar declined an earlier complaint while Bondi held office. ldad.org

The filing is publicly available. This guide does not claim the Bar has opened an investigation or reached a decision on it. Ask ACAP what status information it can disclose.

Why Florida Is the Relevant Starting Point

Florida’s disciplinary rules permit complaints from people other than a lawyer’s clients. You need not be an attorney or claim personal representation. Rule 3-7.16(d) provides a six year period after leaving office for complaints involving qualifying constitutional officers. The May complaint argues Bondi’s departure removes the obstacle cited in 2025. The Bar must assess jurisdiction and applicable law for the particular conduct. www-media.floridabar.org

The lawyer regulation overview explains that the Florida Supreme Court oversees discipline. A complaint may be closed, investigated, or proceed toward sanctions. It does not replace a criminal report, civil lawsuit, or appeal. floridabar.org

Step by Step Guide

Step 1: Download the Current Form

The official filing page supplies the fillable PDF. Download it before typing. The entire submission may contain no more than 25 pages, including the form and exhibits. Mention additional evidence as available upon request.

The Bar warns that AI generated conclusions without detailed facts can cause delay or closure. Check every sentence of a sample before adopting it. floridabar.org

Step 2: Complete Every Section

The form instructions require:

1. Your name, address, email, phone, any ACAP reference, and the litigation answer.
2. Bondi’s name, Bar number, and available directory contact information.
3. A dated chronology on numbered attachment pages, referring to labeled exhibits.
4. Witness contact details and what each witness can establish, if applicable.
5. The oath acknowledgement, your full signature, printed name, and date.

List one lawyer per form. Ask ACAP about unavailable fields. Do not invent witnesses or claim firsthand knowledge you lack. www-media.floridabar.org

Step 3: Build an Evidence Packet You Have Actually Read

One documented issue is the Justice Department’s handling of United States v. Eric Adams, Case 1:24-cr-00556-DEH. The following records support a request to examine supervision. They do not establish Bondi’s personal responsibility.

Exhibit A: Bondi’s February 5 memorandum is one page. Read its disciplinary policy and its express qualifications concerning good faith arguments and applicable law. www.justice.gov

Exhibit B: Sassoon’s February 12 letter appears in a congressional document. PDF pages 2 and 3 identify Bondi as the addressee and explain Sassoon’s objections to Bove’s dismissal directive. This is Sassoon’s account. Addressing a letter to someone does not alone prove receipt or agreement. congress.gov

Exhibit C: Judge Dale Ho’s April 2 opinion, docket entry 177, provides context. PDF pages 1 through 4 explain the court’s concerns and dismissal with prejudice. Pages 12 through 18 recount the directive, correspondence, and subsequent events. Preserve the document’s page numbers and identify these as excerpts. The opinion does not adjudicate Bondi’s bar liability. nysd.uscourts.gov

With one form page, two narrative pages, and these fourteen exhibit pages, the packet is seventeen pages. Recount after assembling it. Read the complete records before selecting excerpts. Attach documents, not merely links.

For another incident, identify its date, document, relevant passage, and evidence connecting Bondi to it. A subordinate’s act is not automatically the supervisor’s violation.

Step 4: Explain the Professional Duty

The professional conduct rules include Rule 4-5.1 on managing and supervising lawyers, Rule 4-8.4(a) on knowingly assisting or inducing violations, and Rule 4-8.4(d) on prejudice to the administration of justice. Other allegations may implicate dishonesty under 4-8.4(c) or knowing prosecution without probable cause under 4-3.8(a).

Identify possible rules and request assessment. Establishing a violation requires the rule’s factual elements and the law applicable when the conduct occurred. www-media.floridabar.org

Step 5: Protect Private Information and Submit Once

Submission instructions require copies, black ink, and no highlighting, staples, tabs, audio, photographs, or online links as evidence. Redact confidential or privileged information. Describe sensitive material as available upon request.

Send the signed packet once to ACAPIntake@floridabar.org, or mail it to:

The Florida Bar
Attn.: ACAP
651 East Jefferson Street
Tallahassee, FL 32399-2300 www-media.floridabar.org

Privacy rules allow investigative confidentiality at certain stages, but files generally become public after closure or probable cause. Expect your account to be shared with the respondent. Protect survivors’ identities and private information before submitting. floridabar.org

Complaint Wording to Adapt

Use this only after reviewing and attaching the identified records. Complete the official form separately.

Subject: Pamela Jo Bondi, Florida Bar Number 886440

I request disciplinary review of Bondi’s managerial and supervisory conduct concerning the Justice Department’s handling of United States v. Eric Adams.

My account is based on public records I have reviewed, not firsthand participation.

Exhibit A is Bondi’s February 5, 2025 advocacy memorandum. It announces potential employment discipline and also refers to good faith arguments and applicable law. I acknowledge those qualifications.

Exhibit B contains the opening of Danielle Sassoon’s February 12, 2025 letter addressed to Bondi. Sassoon describes a dismissal instruction from Emil Bove and raises concerns about her prosecutorial obligations. I identify this as Sassoon’s account, not an independently established fact about Bondi’s knowledge.

Exhibit C contains identified excerpts from Judge Ho’s April 2, 2025 opinion, docket entry 177. The court dismissed the indictment with prejudice and explained concerns about DOJ’s stated rationales. The opinion does not decide Bondi’s disciplinary responsibility.

Taken together, these records raise a question about Bondi’s supervision that I ask the Bar to investigate. Please determine what she knew, directed, approved, or could reasonably have remedied, and whether the applicable professional rules were violated. I do not assume the answer from her position alone.

Please acknowledge receipt and advise whether additional facts are necessary. I request appropriate discipline only if supported by the investigation and governing rules.

Followup and Review of a Closure

Save the exact packet, sent email or mailing receipt, and all correspondence. Respond by the deadlines given. If receipt is unclear, contact ACAP with the date and reference number rather than resending everything.

Standing Board Policy 15.75 requires a written request to review a staff closure within 30 days of the closure notice’s date. Ask the chief branch discipline counsel or ACAP/Intake director to review it.

If that reviewer agrees with closure, a further written request for grievance committee chair review is due within 30 days of that notice. Final grievance committee action has a separate designated reviewer route through bar counsel, also within 30 days. Follow the route for your actual decision. Review concerns reopening, not a formal appeal establishing misconduct. www-media.floridabar.org

Use this wording:

Under Standing Board Policy 15.75, I request timely review of the closure dated [date], reference [number]. The closure states [reason]. Please reconsider because [specific overlooked fact or identified evidence]. Please confirm receipt and the applicable review route.

If You Have No Additional Evidence

Call ACAP at 866-352-0707 for guidance. www.floridabar.org

I am seeking guidance concerning Pamela Jo Bondi, Bar Number 886440. I have read the public May 2026 complaint but have no additional firsthand evidence. What information can you disclose about its status, and would a public records based inquiry add anything useful?

Share verified records and help others document relevant experiences. A disciplinary system needs evidence it can assess. Bring organized receipts and the patience to follow through.

Claws out. Facts intact.
