Attorney conduct and disciplineUsing the registry
Do you vet or review the attorneys listed here?
No, and deliberately not. Every attorney on The State Bar of California's roll is listed — 278,688 records, 202,146 of them active — because a licence is a public fact. The registry does not screen, score, review or endorse anyone, and it carries no reviews.
A verification marker means one thing only: the record was checked against the official roll. It is a statement about the record, not about the person's work.
Listing everybody is what makes the directory neutral. A site that chose who deserved to appear would be making a judgement on your behalf, which is exactly what this one refuses to do.
