Essential Lawyer Databases

Below are the two largest databases of lawyers and law firms in existence. These two databases, provided by Thomson Reuters and Martindale-Hubbell, are excellent for finding any lawyer's contact and basic biographical information, as well as law firm profiles.

  • FindLaw Lawyer Directory -- a product of Thomson Reuters

    Findlaw helps businesses, professionals and consumers navigate through legal issues that affect their professional and personal lives. An extensive database of materials covers more than 400 legal topics ranging from business issues, such as commercial, taxation, bankruptcy, real estate and intellectual property law, to consumer-related issues, such as estate planning, health, family and employment law. And with a searchable directory of more than one million lawyers and legal professionals, and tips on how to find and interview potential counsel, Findlaw simplifies the prospect of hiring legal counsel.
