There are several possible reasons why the attorney may not be listed by the state bar. One possible reason maybe that he/she is an out-of-state attorney with permission to participate in a specific case, solely. Another answer maybe, that the attorney is practicing federal law, ie bankruptcy, and has permission to practice in that area only. You should contact any attorney or state to determine the attorney's bar admission to be sure the attorney is not disbarred or not licensed.
