The State Bar licenses, regulates, and disciplines the 260,000 attorneys in California. Attorney Discipline This section includes reports of recent disciplinary actions the State Bar has taken against attorneys in violation of their ethical obligations: disbarments, suspensions, and probations. You can filter these by county. Nonattorney Actions The State Bar investigates complaints against individuals who engage in the unauthorized practice of law (UPL). If the investigation uncovers UPL, the Office of Chief Trial Counsel sends a cease and desist notice to the individual or business. Recent notices are posted in this section. You can filter these by county. Complaints about repeated or multiple violations may result in the State Bar taking action in Superior Court to obtain orders to shut down the unlawful law practice.
