NY Attorney Registrations - New York Lawyer Directory

The register of attorneys admitted to practise in New York, straight from the NYS Unified Court System. 434,394 attorneys, each with admission year, firm, office location, law school and current registration status.

Low cost

From $0.00005 per record, down to $0.00003 at Gold. Pay only for the records you actually receive - the whole register stays queryable, you are never billed for the scan behind it.

What you get

One row per registered attorney:

• Identify - registration number, first / middle / last name, suffix
• Where they practise - the firm or company, and the office street, city, state, ZIP and county
• When admitted - year of admission and the judicial department of admission (1st-4th)
• Credentials - the law school
• Standing - the registration status, and the next re-registration window

That is the full record the court system publishes: who the attorney is, where they work, when they were admitted, where they studied, and whether they stand in good order.

Filter it

• Name - lastName="Goldberg", firstName="Sarah".
• Firm - firm="Sidley", firm="Legal Aid".
• Place - city="Buffalo", county="Kings".
• Law school - lawSchool="Harvard".
• Admission year - yearFrom=2000, yearTo=2026.
• Status - status="Currently registered" for the practising set, or status="Disbarred" for the disciplinary outcome.

Example inputs

Verify one attorney - lastName is a substring match.

{ "lastName": "COHEN", "firstName": "DAVID", "maxResults": 25 }

Everyone at one firm - firm names are free text as filed.

{ "firm": "LEGAL AID SOCIETY", "status": "Currently registered", "maxResults": 50 }

A recent cohort - admitted this year.

{ "yearFrom": 2026, "maxResults": 50 }

Where the bar sits - mode=aggregate returns one count row per status; every group comes back.

{ "mode": "aggregate", "groupBy": "status" }

Or roll it up

Set mode=aggregate and get a rolled-up count by status, county, judicial department or admission year. Every group comes back - this mode is not cut off by maxResults.

Then use it

• Verify a lawyer's registration number and current standing.
• Screen a counterparty's counsel against the disciplinary outcomes (disbarred, suspended, resigned).
• Map the bar: active attorneys by city, county or admission year.
• Find every attorney at a firm, or every hire from a law school.

Notes on the data, from the source

• This is every attorney ever admitted, not just the practising ones. The status column carries the outcome - Currently registered (292,779), Deceased (49,419), Disbarred (2,191) and more. A query that means "practising lawyers" should pass status="Currently registered".
• County is blank on about 62% of rows. It is offered as a filter and a group-by dimension, but it is not a required field.
• Firm and law-school names are free text as filed, so a substring match is the right way to search them.
• The register is refreshed on the court system's cycle; sourceUpdatedAt carries the dataset's own refresh date.
• Office phone numbers are deliberately not included - the register is a professional directory, and the direct-dial number adds nothing to a credential check.
