Overview
Martindale Attorney Scraper
Scrape Martindale attorney and law firm listings by keyword, practice area, or location, up to a million per run. Each record comes with the lawyer's name, firm, ratings, contact details, and practice areas. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Martindale's official directory has no public API, and manual lookups do not scale. This reads the public attorney and law firm listings directly, filtered by practice area, location, ZIP code, or free consultation, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your filters are not too narrow. Try removing the keyword or broadening the practice area, and make sure the location or ZIP code is spelled correctly.
The run is slow or times out.
Ensure the residential proxy is enabled in the proxy configuration. If the problem persists, reduce maxItems or narrow the filters.
Some listings are missing contact details.
Martindale profiles vary. If a field is empty in the source, it will be empty in the output. Try a different search to find listings with more complete data.
I get an error about proxy configuration.
Use the preconfigured residential proxy with US country. If you changed it, reset to the default settings.
The output has fewer records than maxItems.
The Actor stops when there are no more matching listings. Broaden your filters to collect more.
