Contact the bar association for the state they practice in. They will have a phone number or web site were the credentials can be validated. They will have a professional number assigned to them. There may also be a way of seeing if there are claims against the attorney.

The simplest way is to contact the bar association for the state in question. Most of them have a web site where you can enter the name or the registration number. It will tell you if they are an attorney in good standing. There may also be a phone number to call where they can verify membership.

The licensing authority can validate that they have a license. Most bar organizations have a directory in which members are listed.
