License & bar number lookup
California Attorney License Lookup
Search 258,650 attorneys registered with the State Bar of California by name or bar number. Every record shows the official license status and as-of date.
How to verify a California attorney
- Search the attorney by name or bar number in the search box above — it pulls the official State Bar of California record.
- Confirm the license status reads "active" (not suspended, disbarred, inactive, or not eligible).
- Check the disciplinary standing — disbarred or suspended is a public record you can see before you hire.
- Cross-check the bar number and admission year against anything the attorney told you.
