That's not the way to find out if a person is an attorney.
It happens that there IS an attorney currently registered by that exact name in New Jersey, in Jersey City, as a matter of fact. That attorney does have a 201 area code contact number, albeit not the number identified as calling from the number at issue in these posts. The listing says the attorney has been licensed since June, 1985 in New Jersey.
The correct place to go for determining whether an attorney is licensed in New Jersey is:

If you want to find out on-line whether the attorney has been disciplined in New Jersey in the past, the correct place to go is:
http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/oae/discipline.htm
Because their records are stored quarterly as PDF files and cumulative listings are not available after 2010, you may have to go through multiple files to get any disciplinary information, if any exists at all. But the service does provide instructions on how to most efficiently look through the files they provide.
It is entirely conceivable, however, that the person calling you has nothing to do with this attorney and may instead be stealing his identity for their own nefarious purposes. That does seem to be happening with some degree of frequency these days. If so, you may be able to find that out (and do the real attorney a favor, as well) by calling him at the telephone number you will find on the New Jersey Courts website. And if the number given on their website doesn't belong to the attorney or has changed, the NJ Courts would probably like to know that.
They called my work phone 6 times in less than an hour. Only left one message claiming to be Ms. King from the law office of Norman Kalina stating that I needed to return her call ASAP as it was an important legal matter. Funny thing is that she has called and left numerous messages stating that I had until end day to contact her or it would be sent in for legal action. I have answered a call from this number and it was an entirely different person claiming the same thing but the amounts and creditors names were different. Never have they stated that they are from ACA Recovery, I would have not known that without the web search on the phone number.
I have also had a call from 201-670-8851 Mrs. Lee apparently works for the Law office Charles Law Office....same claims as Ms. King and with the same threat. And when searching that number on the web guess what they are the same company "ACA Recovery" Completely illegal to represent themselves as from law offices when they are not. And to make repeated calls in the same day. They alternate between my cell & work number all day long. Today I had 13 phone calls to both my cell and work number(not counting the ones I may have missed when away from my desk) Only have1 message left on my work phone from Ms. King today and 1 message from Mrs. Lee on my cell. Out of 13 calls from either 201-336-1026 & 201-670-8851 - 2 messages left is considered harassment.
call from Linda banks at Turner law firm stating that my consolidation company is a fraud. Says she will work with me regarding the loan for national payday. Says that it needs to be settled same day and that the validated debt letter was mailed. We shall see if I ever see it.
A lady named Kelly Gray left a message on my work. Didn't say where she was from. Left a message on my work number stating I had reached the limitations of the document being held in my office. She has to submit documents to prosecute to the fullest extent. Needed to talk to me left a different call back number of 18003653713 by 5pm the next day. Didn't say what the document was about or anything
