Location review: September 25, 2026. 491 office locations are mapped; 35 additional profiles remain searchable while a suitable public office location is confirmed. Markers identify sourced office addresses, administrative contact locations or clearly labelled campus locations. They do not show jurisdiction boundaries. Call the agency before visiting; emergencies: 911.

About the locations, sources and map precision

Office addresses are drawn from agency and government publications, supplemented by identified professional and local law-enforcement directories. Coordinates are matched to North Carolina AddressNC and county address points, address-matched NC facility records, agency-published campus GPS coordinates, reviewed OpenStreetMap facility records, or carefully reviewed US Census address geocodes. Each mapped agency shows its location source and precision in the detail panel.

Address points may represent a structure, parcel or public contact location. Archived facility coordinates are labelled with their older source date. Census street-address geocodes are approximate and do not establish a building entrance. Shared offices retain their actual coordinates. We do not place agencies at town or county centers when an office location is unknown. Historical service entries are available in the directory and excluded from the active-agency map.

County outlines provide geographic context, not a statement of an agency’s legal authority. State, federal, campus, hospital and other specialized organizations can serve areas beyond their mapped office. This independent directory does not imply an agency’s endorsement of the firm or an attorney-client relationship.
