How attorney registration works in New York

Every attorney admitted to practice in New York must register with the State's Office of Court Administration within 30 days of admission and then every two years after that. The registration record is public, and it is the backbone of the data on this site.

When an attorney registers, the record captures where they were admitted, the year of admission, the law school they attended, and a registered address. That address is what places an attorney in a given city here. It reflects the contact on file with the court system, which is often a firm or office rather than a home.

Why practice city matters

Grouping attorneys by city is useful when you are looking for local representation or checking whether a specific person is registered where they claim to practice. More than 163,000 attorneys in the registry list a New York address across roughly 1,300 cities and towns.

An address on file is not a guarantee that an attorney still practices there, or that they handle the matter you need. Treat the city listing as a starting point, not a referral.

Verify before you rely on a listing

Registration status can change between our quarterly refreshes. Before you contact or retain anyone, confirm their current standing through the official New York Attorney Search. If a person is not listed there, treat that as a warning sign.
