How to verify a Georgia attorney

  1. Search the attorney by name or bar number in the search box above — it pulls the official State Bar of Georgia record.
  2. Confirm the license status reads "active" (not suspended, disbarred, inactive, or not eligible).
  3. Check the disciplinary standing — disbarred or suspended is a public record you can see before you hire.
  4. Cross-check the bar number and admission year against anything the attorney told you.
