Mid-Afternoon Vent: Why are State Bar Websites So Useless?

 I have been trying to find this criminal defense attorney (no not for me) who lives either in Oregon or New York and both websites make it very difficult to research their members. Nice work protecting the public!

By the time you finally locate the "member search" section (Oregon helpfully informs you the member list is likely incomplete)-- Michael Avenatti could be halfway to Argentina with your retainer.
 
In contrast, the CA State Bar is practically begging you to file a complaint.  "Locate a Lawyer" is front and center on the homepage, with a variety of complaint forms in eight different languages one easy click away.
