How to verify a Ohio attorney

  1. Search the attorney by name or bar number in the search box above — it pulls the official Supreme Court of Ohio, Office of Attorney Services 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.
