About Mariposa Publishing

For almost 50 years, Mariposa Publishing has been a trusted publisher of the Legal Directory Handbook, providing state-specific legal directories for attorneys, paralegals, administrators, judges, court staff, and legal professionals. Our printed Legal Directory Handbook and searchable online eBooks have become an essential daily reference in thousands of law offices, providing reliable, organized, and easy-to-access contact information.

In October 2024, Mariposa Publishing entered an exciting new chapter under new ownership. While we remain committed to the trusted format and quality that legal professionals have relied on for decades, we have also invested heavily in improving our editorial processes, verification systems, and customer experience. After spending the past two years learning every aspect of the business and refining our production processes, we are confident that we are delivering the most accurate and comprehensive Legal Directory Handbook in our company’s history.

Accuracy is Our Highest Priority

At Mariposa Publishing, accuracy is not just a goal—it is the foundation of everything we do.

Our experienced team of human fact-checkers works diligently throughout the year to verify the information contained in every edition of our Legal Directory Handbook. We don’t simply copy information from previous editions or rely on internet searches. Instead, we actively verify the information with the people and organizations that provide it.

Our verification process includes:

• Calling courts, government offices, agencies, and contact people throughout every section of the handbook.
• Emailing listed email addresses to confirm they are active and accurate.
• Visiting and testing websites to ensure links and online resources are current.
• Researching and verifying every reported change before it appears in the directory.
• Accepting suggestions from our clients throughout the year and independently fact-checking each update before publication. 

Because personnel, offices, filing fees, and contact information frequently change, we also perform an additional update after publication to help ensure our online eBooks continue to provide the most current information available.

This commitment to ongoing verification is one of the reasons Mariposa Publishing’s Legal Directory Handbook continues to be a trusted legal reference for attorneys, law firms, courts, and legal professionals throughout the states we serve.

A Comprehensive Legal Resource

Our Legal Directory Handbook for Attorneys, Paralegals, and Administrators is designed to be the law office reference book legal professionals reach for every day. Rather than spending valuable time searching multiple websites, making phone calls, or verifying outdated information, legal professionals can find the information they need in one convenient printed Legal Directory Handbook or searchable online eBook.

Each edition contains thousands of verified contacts and reference materials, including:

• Judicial contact information
• Federal courts and federal offices
• Appellate courts
• State-specific legal information
• County information, including court administrators, court contacts, county offices, eFiling links, case record access, and other essential resources
• Federal court, Secretary of State, and county filing fee schedules
  Municipal government directories
• Hospitals and clinics
• Law libraries
• Insurance claim contacts
• National and state professional associations
• Police departments
• Federal and state legislators
• Courts and government offices
• City, County, and ZIP Code directory
• Legal deadlines and expiration dates
• Current and perpetual calendars 

And that’s only a portion of what you’ll find in every edition of our Legal Directory Handbook.

Each edition of the Handbook is carefully researched and includes the names, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, mailing addresses, and other essential contact information for the individuals and departments legal professionals work with every day. Whether you are looking for court personnel, county offices, judges, filing fees, government agencies, legislative contacts, or legal resources, Mariposa Publishing brings everything together in one trusted handbook.

Unlike many online resources that require searching multiple websites, the Mariposa Publishing Legal Directory Handbook organizes thousands of verified contacts into one comprehensive resource, helping legal professionals save time, improve efficiency, and work with confidence.

Serving Six States

We currently publish Legal Directory Handbooks for:

• Georgia
• Iowa
• Minnesota
• Missouri
• North Carolina
• Ohio 

We are especially proud to welcome back the Iowa Legal Directory Handbook. After serving the Iowa legal community through 2019, we are pleased to once again provide the trusted handbook that law firms, courts, and legal professionals relied on for decades.

A Better Way to Order

As part of our commitment to better serving our customers, we have also updated the way our handbook is offered.

Rather than automatically shipping new editions each year, we now offer a preorder program. This allows our customers to order before publication and receive special preorder pricing while giving our editorial team additional time to complete our extensive verification process before the books are printed.

We believe this approach provides greater value for our customers while ensuring every edition of the Legal Directory Handbook contains the most current and accurate information possible.

Listening to Our Customers

One of the greatest improvements we’ve made is strengthening our relationship with the legal professionals who use our Legal Directory Handbook every day.

Our customers are often the first to notice when a judge retires, an office relocates, a phone number changes, or a department is reorganized. We welcome those calls and emails because they help us continue improving our directories.

Every suggested update is independently researched and verified by our editorial staff before being incorporated into future editions or our post-publication updates. This collaborative approach helps us maintain the accuracy and reliability our customers have come to expect from Mariposa Publishing and our Legal Directory Handbook.

Our Commitment

We understand that legal professionals depend on accurate information every day. A single outdated phone number, incorrect filing fee, broken website link, or missing contact can cost valuable time.

That is why we continue to invest in our people, our verification process, and our editorial standards to produce a Legal Directory Handbook that law firms can trust.

Whether you choose our printed handbook or our searchable online eBook, our mission remains the same:

To provide the most accurate, up-to-date, and dependable legal directories available, helping attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, judges, court staff, and legal offices work more efficiently every day.

Thank you for allowing Mariposa Publishing to serve the legal community for almost 50 years. We are honored to continue that tradition under new ownership and look forward to serving legal professionals for many years to come with the most accurate and dependable Legal Directory Handbook available.

Unlike many online resources that require searching multiple websites, the Mariposa Publishing Handbook brings thousands of verified legal contacts and resources together in one convenient, easy-to-use handbook and searchable eBook—saving legal professionals valuable time every day.
