A father complained that multiple fathers including himself each faced a pattern of thirty or more false complaints of domestic violence, and the other parent in each case was represented by an attorney at a particular law firm.

A father complained that multiple fathers including himself each faced a pattern of thirty or more false complaints of domestic violence, and the other parent in each case was represented by an attorney at a particular law firm.

(In this instance one of the lawyers had been arrested for a related criminal offense, making him more strongly believe in the possibility of crime at this law firm)

Here is my reply in the hopes that it may help other parents who may face similar perceived injustices, and who wish to seek justice for themselves and their children.

I am not a attorney and this is not legal advice.

It sounds like you're implying that members of the law firm engaged in a pattern of behavior with multiple clients. This pattern of behavior might have included subornation of perjury and domestic violence to interfere with custody and obstruct justice. If so, those may be criminal acts.

What Is Domestic Violence?

Does your partner ever….

Insult, demean or embarrass you with put-downs?

Stop you from seeing your friends or family members?

Make all of the decisions without your input or consideration of your needs?

Tell you that you’re a bad parent or threaten to take away your children?

Other possible federal crimes.

I would consider a complaint to your state's Bar Association and its State Disciplinary Committee. The ABA has links for each state:

Complaints Against Lawyers

The ABA is not a lawyer disciplinary agency and has no authority to investigate or act upon complaints filed against lawyers. Each state has its own agency that performs that function in regard to lawyers practicing in that state. Locate your state agency from the Directory of State Disciplinary Agencies.
