If he has been PUBLICLY disciplined, you can check with your state's supreme court  -- in Colo, not sure about other states.  However, the people who are regulating attorneys, are attorneys themselves and they try to protect their own.  Unless the transgression is severe, there may have been private sanctions and you won't be able to find out about them.\n.

you look up states list of attorneys by year and case number if you have it. If you don't you can look up the attorneys name and then look it you as afore stated.

Contact the Ethics Office of the Bar Association where the judge is serving.  Be prepared to provide specific examples of the misconduct and any witnesses.  If what the judge has done is not just unethical but is also a crime, then contact the states attorney's office.

Check with your local bar association.  They will be able to refer you to an attorney.  You can also ask the bar abot whether an attorney has been sanctioned (found to have done something wrong/unethical), depending on the state.  Lastly, you can check the attorney against Martindale, an attorney rating system based on experience that also gives you the attorney's credentials.

Check the yellow pages for the at attorney referral service in your area. \n\nIf there have been any problems with any attorney they are removed from the referral list. They will refer you to attorneys with the specialty you need. You get a free 1/2 hour consultation with each one. This insures you are seeing attorneys that have already been screened and give you a chance to try different one for one you feel you can best work with at no cost to you.

Check with friends or try to find out past clients to get an opinion. When you do get a name, go on line and check out his/her past. You can even check for past lawsuits. Lastly, when you do pick one go in for a meeting before your first appointment and make sure your personalities match. Good luck.

First of all, its H.I.P.A.\n\nhttp://www.nvbar.org/\n\nThey have a public portion where you can search for attorney with certain specializations.  You can also look for someone with medical malpractice or healthcare law experience.

The best way to search for lawyers is through martindale-hubbell.  Go to http://www.martindale.com and do an advanced search.  Martindale also does "peer review" rankings.  Any ranking is good, but the best rankings are AV and BV.  An AV attorney generally has more experience and has to have been practicing for at least ten years.
