The directories maintained by the state bar tend to be far more accurate than the commercial online attorney directories like Lawyer Legion, AVVO, Justia, Findlaw, Lawyers, or Best Lawyers. Many of these directories help the public look up an attorney focused on a particular practice area of the law.
