What this profile tells you

Bar status & tenure

Zhiqing Zou is registered as bar number 5055637 with the New York bar authority, carrying a current status of "Suspended, due to reregister", a classification that limits or suspends the attorney's authorization to practice — verify the exact implications with the bar before engaging this attorney. The attorney was admitted to the bar in 2012, representing roughly 14 years since admission — a useful signal when weighing depth of practical experience against fee expectations. Registration is recorded within Judicial Department 3, the appellate division overseeing this attorney's home district.

Practice context & education

State context & due diligence

For benchmarking context, New York has 429,620 registered attorneys statewide, of which 284,296 (66.2%) are actively registered — this attorney's "Suspended, due to reregister" status places them outside the active cohort. Bar registration status alone does not confirm competence, specialty, or fit for a specific legal matter — it confirms only that the attorney has met the bar's registration requirements as of the last reporting cycle. Before engaging any attorney, verify their current standing directly with the state bar, review any discipline history through official channels, confirm fee structure in writing, and ask about specific experience handling matters similar to yours. Public profiles like this one are a starting point for due diligence, not a substitute for it.
