License Status, Disciplinary and Administrative History

The table below shows an attorney’s license status changes, disciplinary actions, and administrative actions. Some administrative suspensions are subject to automatic removal from the attorney profile page pursuant to the State Bar's policy on removal of administrative actions. Administrative suspensions are non-disciplinary actions resulting from noncompliance with administrative requirements, such as the requirement to pay licensing fees or comply with Minimum Continuing Legal Education.
