New York vouches for one line of its own page

This is the narrowest register we use, and it is candid about it. The Unified Court System states that the Attorney Detail Report contains information provided by the attorney — everything except registration status, which is generated from the Office of Court Administration’s database.

So on Kenny’s listing, one row is the court’s own fact: Currently registered. The admission date, the law school, the business address — those are what he filed.

It goes further. The court states that good standing and any information regarding disciplinary actions must be confirmed with the appropriate Appellate Division Department. The page displays “No record of discipline” and then tells you to verify that elsewhere. We have not, and his profile says so.

New York City is the largest rideshare market in the country and the only one with its own licensing regime for drivers. It also has the register that will stand behind the least.

What we haven’t checked

Not established. Confirmation of good standing or discipline with the Appellate Division, which New York states is required. His reported appointment to the First Department Disciplinary Committee. Court records for the verdicts he describes. A bar check is a floor, not a ranking.

Coverage grows market by market. If you handle rideshare cases elsewhere in New York, tell us you exist — it costs nothing and buys nothing, but it gets you looked at. All states · How we work
