FindLaw Attorney Scraper

FindLaw Attorney Scraper

Scrape attorney profiles from FindLaw by practice area, state, or city, up to a million per run. Every lawyer comes with their name, firm, contact details, ratings, and practice areas. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

FindLaw's directory is the largest legal directory online, but manually copying attorney data is slow and error-prone. This Actor reads the public attorney profiles directly, filtered by practice area, state, or city, and returns each match in one fixed schema. It works without an API key or registration.

Legal marketers	Build a list of attorneys in a niche to pitch their services

Legal tech startups	Populate a directory or matching tool with attorney data

What it does

This Actor collects attorney profiles from FindLaw by practice area, state, city, or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row.

• ⚖️ Practice area filter: Choose from 15 areas like personal injury, criminal law, or immigration.
• 📍 Location targeting: Narrow by state or city, or leave city empty for a state-wide search.
• 🔗 Direct URL mode: Paste any FindLaw search URL to scrape exactly those results.
• 📊 Flat row output: Each attorney is one row with name, firm, contact, rating, and practice areas.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Verify your practice area and state/city values match FindLaw's URL slugs. Try a broader search, like state-only without a city, or use a direct FindLaw URL.

The Actor stops before reaching maxItems.

FindLaw may not have more attorneys for your filters. Check the run log for the last page scraped, or broaden your filters.

Some fields are empty in the output.

Not all FindLaw profiles have every field. Empty values mean the data was not present on the page.

I get an error when using a direct URL.

Make sure the URL is a valid FindLaw search URL, not a single attorney profile. The Actor expects a search results page.

The run is slow.

Reduce maxItems or narrow your filters to a specific city. FindLaw pages can be heavy, so smaller runs are faster.
