Member Directory

Welcome to the State Bar of Michigan’s Classic Directory. This directory allows you to check an attorney’s status and locate their contact information. If you are a member of the public who wants to find an attorney, we suggest using our ReliaGuide Directory, which is better suited to help you find an attorney in your area, search by keyword, and put you directly in touch with the attorney. Our Lawyer Referral Service also can help.

See below for tips on how to use this directory and additional information.

The search function below includes options to search by name, P number, and other basic data plus options to search by county, practice area, committee membership, section membership, and language. After selecting criteria and then clicking the Search button, focus will move to the search results. Before and after the search results, there will be skip links to return to this search criteria area

Tips for using the Classic Directory 

  • Using the last name only is usually the easiest way to find a specific attorney. Spelling must be exact. Do not use middle initials, extra spaces, or tabs.
  • You don’t have to spell out the whole name. It will also search based on partial name entries. For instance, you can type only “Cav” when looking for either Cavanaugh or Cavanagh.
  • For last names with apostrophes (e.g. O’Malley), iPhone and iPad users should press and hold the apostrophe key, then select the straight apostrophe option.
  • Lawyers have an ethical duty to avoid conflicts of interest. You should not provide details of a case until you have contacted an attorney and they have been able to confirm that they do not have a conflict of interest.
