Conservatorship Program

When an attorney is no longer able to practice due to death, disability, disbarment or suspension -- or if an attorney abandons their practice -- it should be temporarily or permanently transferred to a successor appointed by the attorney. If an attorney has not prearranged for a successor, the State Bar of Arizona steps in to close the practice and safeguard the attorney's files until they can be returned to the clients.

The State Bar will store the attorney's files for a period of time, or until they are able to locate the clients. Currently, the Bar is safeguarding records from the practices of the following attorneys. This is a comprehensive list. If the name of your attorney isn't here, we don't have the records.

If you, or someone you know, was a client of one of the following attorneys/firms, please contact Katherine Jendrisak at conservatorships@staff.azbar.org or 602.340.7359.
