Potts & Potts, a personal injury law firm with more than 40 years of service, announced the release of its fully updated 2026 United States Attorneys Map. This interactive web-based visualization reveals the number, distribution, and density of licensed attorneys across all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The map transforms complex bar association statistics into an engaging and easily navigable experience, representing over 1.3 million licensed attorneys nationwide.
The new 2026 map provides users with easy access to attorney data, including total licensed lawyers in each state, population figures, and the number of attorneys per 10,000 residents. This data visualization highlights fascinating regional differences and legal landscape trends that might otherwise remain hidden in traditional statistical reports. The interactive features allow visitors to hover over states and view detailed attorney statistics, making comparative analysis straightforward and accessible.
"As the legal profession continues to evolve, access to accurate and easy-to-interpret attorney data becomes increasingly valuable for legal professionals, students, journalists, and anyone interested in the legal workforce," said a representative for Potts & Potts. "This updated interactive map offers an insightful look at the U.S. legal community, state by state." The firm emphasized that the visualization serves multiple audiences who benefit from understanding attorney distribution patterns across different regions.
The United States Attorneys Map is free to explore at https://www.pottsalc.com/united-states-attorneys-map/ and includes intuitive interactive features. Whether comparing attorney counts between states, studying regional legal markets, or simply curious about how lawyer density varies across the country, this map delivers a comprehensive, data-driven perspective. The tool enables users to identify states with higher concentrations of legal professionals versus those with fewer attorneys relative to population size.
This release matters because it democratizes access to critical legal workforce data that traditionally required specialized research skills to compile and analyze. For law students considering where to practice, the map provides insights into market saturation and opportunity across different states. Legal professionals can use the data to understand competitive landscapes and identify underserved regions. Journalists and researchers gain a valuable tool for reporting on legal access disparities and workforce trends that affect justice system capacity nationwide.
The implications extend beyond the legal community to policymakers and the general public concerned with access to legal services. Attorney density correlates with legal service availability, and significant variations between states may highlight systemic issues in legal resource distribution. This visualization makes those disparities immediately apparent, potentially informing discussions about legal education, bar admission policies, and initiatives to improve access to justice in underserved areas. By presenting this data in an accessible format, Potts & Potts contributes to broader conversations about the legal profession's structure and its capacity to serve diverse populations across the United States.
