Frequently Asked Questions
I need an attorney, how can I find one?
The State Bar of Arizona can't provide attorney referrals or offer legal advice, but you can use our member directory to search for lawyers by name, area of practice or office location. All attorneys who are members of the State Bar of Arizona are listed on the State Bar's website. Check the "activity" information to see if the lawyer has ever been disciplined. Both the Maricopa County Bar and Pima County Bar Associations offer lawyer referral services.
