What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it

LFL Verified 2026

Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.

No public discipline

No named attorney carries a disbarment, a suspension or a disciplinary resignation on the State Bar of California's record, across the 1 we identified. Administrative suspensions, which the State Bar states are non-disciplinary, are not counted here

Service in Spanish

Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.

Steven M. Sweat has earned this badge. They are free, they are not for sale, and each one links back to this page so anybody can read the evidence behind it. They are also live: the file is rebuilt every time we re-measure, so a badge on your site says what is true today rather than what was true the day you copied it.
