There were 25 lawyers with active licenses to practice in Ulster County as of July, according to the NYS Attorney Registrations.

Data refers to all lawyers who were actively practicing during this time period.

New York State has the most lawyers of any US state, yet it is also home to legal deserts. Orleans County, with a population of 40,000 residents, has less than one lawyer per every 1,000 residents.

Nearly 75 percent of rural New York State attorneys are 45-years-old or older, which was one of the most concerning findings from a report on rural law practice. The report predicted that most rural lawyers in New York State will retire within 30 years and not be replaced by younger attorneys.

The average salary for an attorney working in New York State is $109,218 per year.
