Attorney verification

Verify a U.S. attorney through the bar regulator

TruthMark does not aggregate attorney records. We direct you to the agency that licenses and disciplines lawyers in each jurisdiction, where the data is current and disclaimers are intact. Why we do it this way →

Coverage varies by state. Some regulators publish a full discipline history with every record; others publish only active status. A few publish nothing online and require a phone call to verify. The card you get back when you choose a jurisdiction explains that state's rules. How we vet sources →

Integrated bar regulators

States with fuller TruthMark integration (coverage notes + discipline disclosure summary). For all 50 states + DC + territories, see the full directory.

  • State Bar of California

    California publishes name, bar number, admission date, current license status (Active / Inactive / Not Eligible / Resigned / Disbarred), and the licensee's address of record. Each licensee has a profile page with their full public discipline history.

  • New York State Unified Court System — Office of Court Administration (Attorney Registration)

    NY publishes name, registration number, year admitted, current registration status, and the lawyer's most recent registered law-firm/business address. The OCA registration record is separate from the four Appellate Division departments' discipline orders.

  • State Bar of Texas

    Texas publishes name, bar card number, license date, status (Active / Inactive / Suspended / Disbarred / Resigned in Lieu of Discipline), primary practice areas, and current law firm. Each profile includes a public discipline summary.

  • The Florida Bar

    Florida publishes name, bar number, admission date, status (Eligible to Practice / Inactive / Suspended / Disbarred / Delinquent), county of practice, and current firm. Profile pages include a 10-year public discipline history.

  • Rhode Island Supreme Court — Attorney Registration

    Rhode Island publishes name, bar number, admission date, current status (Active / Inactive / Suspended / Disbarred), and registered law-firm or business address. Attorneys must register annually with the Supreme Court by July 1; failure to register removes them from the Master Roll of Attorneys without further notice.

Federal court cross-reference

Find a federal court attorney

Federal court practice is separate from state bar admission. An attorney admitted in California isn't automatically admitted in the Northern District of California — federal practice requires per-court admission, with each district maintaining its own roll. These four resources cover the federal side.
