State Bar Reinstatement

Regain Admission to the California State Bar

California lawyers who have been disbarred or resigned with charges pending may apply for reinstatement. After putting past misconduct behind you, reinstatement proceedings can be initiated to regain admission to the California State Bar.

In order to gain a favorable reinstatement recommendation, you must file a Petition for Reinstatement that shows that you have completed rehabilitation, that you meet the moral qualifications for reinstatement, and that you present ability and learning of the general law in a personal statement.

If you have questions regarding the best way to demonstrate to the State Bar that you are ready to accept the responsibility of being reinstated, the Century Law Group can help. With more than 47 years of experience in State Bar discipline, attorneys Edward Lear and Paul Virgo understand the requirements for reinstatement and how to present your rehabilitation and your commitment to maintaining a healthy and responsible reputation.
