What's the difference?

IOLTA inquiries are administrative. They go to the state's IOLTA program (run by the bar foundation or a similar entity), which administers the trust-account interest program and may maintain compliance records, overdraft-notification logs, and random-audit results.

Disciplinary complaints are merits-based. They go to the state disciplinary administrator and allege specific rule violations.

The two tracks are independent. An IOLTA inquiry is not a complaint; it asks procedural questions. You can pursue either, both, or neither.
