4. Attorney Data & Public Records

Certain attorney profile information displayed on this platform — including name, bar number, admission date, licensing state, and office contact details — is sourced from publicly available records maintained by state bar associations, state courts, and government agencies across the United States.

This information is considered public record under applicable state open records laws, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and state equivalents. The collection and display of such publicly available information is a lawful and standard practice in the legal industry, consistent with platforms such as Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Justia, and state bar association websites.

We make reasonable efforts to keep this data accurate and up-to-date through periodic synchronization with state databases, but we do not guarantee the real-time accuracy or completeness of any attorney listing. For the most current information, please consult the relevant state bar association directly.

Opt-Out / Information Removal Request

If you are a licensed attorney and wish to have your publicly sourced information hidden from this platform, you may submit a removal request by emailing privacy@law119.com with the subject line "Attorney Opt-Out Request".

Please include:

  • Your full name as it appears on your bar license
  • Your bar registration number and state
  • A brief statement requesting removal

We will process your request within 30 business days. Please note that opting out will hide your information from public search results on our platform but does not affect the original public records maintained by your state bar association.
