- Not eligible

- Suspended or disbarred

Common questions
How do I know a Colorado lawyer is really licensed?
Match the name to an active record on the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel with a status of eligible to practice. A lawyer who cannot be found on the board's roll is not licensed in Colorado, whatever a website says.
What does "not eligible" mean if the license still exists?
The lawyer is on the roll but barred from practicing today, most often for unpaid dues or a lapsed requirement. It is not the same as discipline, and it is usually temporary.
Can I see if a lawyer has been disciplined?
Public. The Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel's search shows an attorney's status and disciplinary history. Where an order exists, the board links to it from the record.
