Free California Attorney LookUp Tool

Every year, thousands of attorneys in California are suspended, disbarred, or under investigation—often without their clients’ knowledge. Most people don’t realize there’s a problem until it’s too late.

 

That’s why we created this free California attorney lookup tool. It allows you to verify an attorney’s license status, bar number, and basic public credentials using real-time data from the official California State Bar database and other resources. 

 

However, it’s important to understand what this tool does and does not do:​

 

• ✅ What it does: Confirms whether an attorney is currently licensed, active, and in good standing. It also shows key information such as public contact details, disciplinary history, and licensing milestones.

​

• ❌ What it does not do: This tool doesn’t evaluate an attorney’s performance, case results, client reviews, or overall trustworthiness—unless that attorney is part of the 1000Attorneys.com referral network, in which case deeper vetting is performed.

 

Think of this as the first step in your due diligence process. If you have the time and ability to research further, we strongly encourage you to do so.
