US Attorney Database & Lawyer Leads — Good Standing

The complete list of all licensed attorneys across 16 states, enriched through over half-dozen attorney directories and various other sources. All records cleaned-up and standardized. Over 1.4million profiles and counting.

Why Good Standing beats every other legal lead generation source

Other lawyer lead tools read one directory each. A directory only lists the attorneys who signed up for it, can't tell you whether they are still licensed, and lists the same lawyer under every state they practise in. A state bar search covers one state, one name at a time, and has no export button.

Good Standing starts from the bar records, so the list is complete. It then adds what every directory knows about each lawyer.

• Gets every licensed attorney, not every attorney who bought a listing. If a state bar licenses them, they are in here, including the many who appear in no directory at all.
• Merges every source into one profile. The bar's licence record plus a directory's bio, practice areas, headshot, website and rating. You'd otherwise buy four lists and spend a week matching them.
• Removes the duplicates for you. A lawyer licensed in New York, California and Texas is one lead with three licences inside it, and you pay for one row.
• Verifies standing on every row. Active, suspended or disbarred, straight from the body that issues the licence. Your sales team stops calling disbarred lawyers, and your compliance team stops trusting directory badges.
• Filters on what directories can't. Admission year, which is seniority. Law school. County. Discipline history. Eligibility to practise.

States covered: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming. New York, California and Texas, the three largest bars in the country, are all included, and more states are on the way.

Good Standing Features

• Builds lawyer leads, attorney leads and law firm leads. Filter by state, practice area (37 categories), county, city, ZIP, law school and admission year.
• Returns contact details by default. About 70% of lawyers come with a phone or an email, and requireContact keeps only those. Switch on requirePhone or requireEmail for a pure call list, an attorney contact list or a lawyer email list.
• Bar number lookup. Every licence the lawyer holds comes back with its status, admission date and disciplinary record, including the suspended and disbarred licences that are the reason you checked.
• Includes attorney disciplinary records. Screen for attorney discipline: filter for lawyers with discipline on record, or for lawyers clean under every licence.
• Adds directory detail. About 45% of lawyers also carry a bio, practice areas, website, headshot or rating.
• Shows where each value came from. Each contact field names its source, so you can tell a state bar fact from a directory listing.
• Delivers new attorneys only. addedSince returns only lawyers new to the list. Put it on a monthly schedule and you get just the new admissions.

Who Uses a US Attorney Database?

• Legal tech and legal services sales teams. Case-management, e-discovery, legal AI, IOLTA banking, malpractice insurance. A reachable list of practising lawyers by state and practice area, with seniority to separate partners from associates.
• Legal recruiters — admission year, law school, firm and licensing states on every row.
• Litigation support and expert-witness networks. Licensed counsel with no discipline on record, by practice area and county.
• Compliance and vendor onboarding — attorney license verification and an attorney background check on outside counsel before the engagement letter.
• Insurers and litigation funders — build defence panels from verified licences rather than directory profiles.
• Legal market research. Attorney density by county, admission cohorts, law-school placement.

Filters on admission year and eligibility apply to the same licence. "states": ["CA"], "admittedAfter": 2019 means a California licence from 2019 on, not a 2021 New York admission held by someone with an older California licence.

Resuming a large run

Every run emits a resumeCursor in its Output. To continue a run that stopped at maxItems or your spend cap, start a new run with the same input plus that resumeCursor. You are not re-charged for lawyers the earlier run already delivered. The cursor is opaque, so supply it unmodified.

FAQ

Is this a complete list of US attorneys?

Good Standing holds every attorney licensed in its sixteen states, not only the ones who list themselves in a directory. That covers about 1.47 million lawyers, and more states are being added.

How is Good Standing different from a lawyer directory scraper?

Good Standing merges the directories onto the state bar record, so it is not limited to the directory. A directory scraper returns the lawyers who maintain a profile, with no licence status and a duplicate for every state they list. Good Standing returns every licensed lawyer once, verified against the bar, with the directory's bio, practice areas and ratings attached where a directory has them.

Can I get a lawyer email list?

Good Standing returns emails where the bars, the directories or the firm's own domain supply one, which is about 20% of the time. Set requireEmail to true for an attorney email list with an address on every row. Leave requireContact on instead and every row has a phone or an email.

Can I use it as a state bar lookup or attorney license verification?

Good Standing looks up any attorney in its sixteen states by bar number (with the state) or by email. You get every licence they hold, each with its current status and disciplinary record, including suspended and disbarred licences.

Does it include disbarred and suspended attorneys?

Good Standing keeps them, labelled, because compliance screening needs them. eligibleOnly is on by default, so a lead-generation run returns only lawyers who can practise.

Why Use Good Standing?

• Complete. Every licensed attorney in sixteen states, not just the ones with a directory profile.
• Merged. The state bars and the major attorney directories are combined into one profile per lawyer, with standing verified and duplicates already removed, which spares you buying four lists and reconciling them in a spreadsheet.
• Verified. Licence status and discipline come from the bar itself.

Good Standing is assembled from publicly available records: the state bars' public attorney registers and public attorney directories. Use it in line with the marketing and privacy rules of your jurisdiction, and confirm licence status with the issuing bar before relying on it for a legal decision.
