Frequently Asked Questions
I need an attorney. How can I find
one?
While the State Bar of Arizona is not permitted to provide any
legal advice or referrals to lawyers, you can use the "Find a
Lawyer" feature on this website to find a lawyer 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.
