FindLaw Lawyer Directory Scraper — Attorney & Law Firm Leads

Extract attorney and law-firm leads from the FindLaw lawyer directory (lawyers.findlaw.com — Thomson Reuters) for legal lead generation, legal intake CRMs, and law firm databases. Returns one structured row per firm or attorney with name, firm, practice areas, street address (with lat/long), phone, website, FindLaw rating, review count, staff attorneys, bar admissions, education and profile URL. $0.0009 per result — the cheapest FindLaw actor verified on Apify.

Main Use Cases

• Legal lead generation — prospect attorneys by practice area + city for marketing outreach and intake.
• Legal intake CRMs — feed firm phone numbers, websites and office geo-coordinates directly into your CRM.
• Building a law firm database — 1.2M+ FindLaw listings, filtered by practice, state and city, as clean structured rows.
• Legal marketing data — track FindLaw ratings and review counts across markets for law-firm marketing agencies.
• Legal recruiting & market research — who practices what, in which cities, with what credentials and ratings.

How It Works

Looking for a FindLaw scraper or a practical FindLaw API alternative? Target practice areas and states, or paste directory URLs, and collect attorney and law firm leads: names, firms, practice areas, addresses with geo coordinates, phones, websites, ratings, review counts, bar admissions and education. Ideal for legal lead generation, intake CRMs and law-firm databases.

Use the dataset to prospect by practice and city, enrich CRM records and compare credentials. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull results through the Apify API. Start with one practice and state, then pay from $0.90 per 1,000 records.

Build Law Firm & Attorney Databases Without an Official API

FindLaw publishes 1.2M+ law firm listings and exposes no public API for directory data. This actor turns the public directory into structured leads: name, firm, job title, practice areas, address + lat/lon, phone, website, FindLaw rating + review count, staff attorneys, bar admissions, education, price range and profile URL — with recordType distinguishing firm vs attorney rows.

Input is flexible:

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
practiceAreas	array	No*	["divorce"]	Practice-area URL slugs (e.g. divorce, criminal-law, dui-dui). One listing crawled per practice × state × city combo.
states	array	No*	["california"]	US state URL slugs (e.g. california, texas, florida, new-york).
cities	array	No	[]	City URL slugs (e.g. los-angeles, houston). Empty = crawl state-level listings.
startUrls	array	No	[]	Extra FindLaw listing/hub/profile URLs, in addition to the combos above.
includeProfileDetails	boolean	No	true	Visit each attorney/firm profile for practice areas, geo, staff attorneys, bar admissions, education, price range. Off = fast listing-only scrape (~40 records/request).
maxItems	integer	No	100	Max attorney/firm records (free users capped at 10).
maxPagesPerListing	integer	No	5	How many ?page=N result pages to follow per listing URL.
maxCitiesPerHub	integer	No	0	How many city listings to expand from each practice/state hub (0 = auto-sized from Max items).
maxRequestsPerCrawl	integer	No	500	Safety cap on total requests per run.
proxy	object	No	{"useApifyProxy": true}	On by default — residential proxy recommended for reliable collection.

* Either practiceAreas+states or startUrls must be used.

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel, or pull it via the Apify API. Two dataset views are available: overview (name, firm, type, phone, address, rating, website, profile) and credentials (bar admissions, education, offices, price range — populated with enrichment on).

Integrations & Automation — Schedule Legal Lead Generation

The actor runs on the Apify platform with API access, scheduling, webhooks, Zapier/Make/n8n integrations, and monitoring. For ongoing lead generation, schedule a monthly run per practice area × state and feed the dataset into your CRM or outreach tool. Turn enrichment off for cheap, fast sweeps (a city listing page yields ~40 records per request) and turn it on for the full credential rows. Recurring runs keep ratings, review counts and new listings fresh.

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of an official API?

FindLaw has no public API for its 1.2M+ listing directory — even the premium-profile product doesn't expose bulk data. This actor reads the public directory pages directly at $0.0009 per result (+$0.001 per enriched profile) — pay per record, no subscription.

What are alternatives to this actor / FindLaw data?

Avvo, Justia, Martindale-Hubbell and SuperLawyers are the other major US lawyer directories, each with Apify actors (linked above). FindLaw is the largest sub-directory of the Thomson Reuters network, so this actor covers firms + attorneys in one dataset — many competing actors are attorneys-only.

Can I get attorney emails with this actor?

No — and no FindLaw scraper honestly can reliably: FindLaw does not publish attorney emails; they sit behind a per-profile contact form. This actor returns contactUrl (the profile's contact page) and the firm website for outreach instead. Any actor claiming email extraction from FindLaw is either scraping the firm's own website or is not reading FindLaw.

Is scraping FindLaw legal?

This actor reads publicly served directory pages at polite concurrency with retries — no login and no access-challenge bypass. Respect FindLaw's Terms of Service and applicable law; you are responsible for how you use the data, including telemarketing/outreach rules (e.g. TCPA).

Why do some profiles lack ratings or geo data?

FindLaw only includes ratings, geo coordinates and staff lists when the firm provided them — some profiles genuinely lack them. In listing-only mode (includeProfileDetails: false), offices, barAdmissions, education and attorneys come back empty by design.

Known limitations

• Email addresses are never public on FindLaw (see above).
• The all-cities page does not provide city-level listings, so it is skipped — crawl specific cities instead.
• A state hub exposes 140+ cities, so wide runs lean on maxItems and maxRequestsPerCrawl to stop.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Returns FindLaw attorney and law-firm records as JSON rows (recordType: firm or attorney), either listing-only or fully enriched.

Minimal working input:

{ "practiceAreas": ["divorce"], "states": ["california"], "maxItems": 10 }

Variant inputs — fast listing-only sweep:

{ "practiceAreas": ["personal-injury-plaintiff"], "states": ["texas"], "cities": ["houston"], "maxItems": 100, "includeProfileDetails": false }

Output fields (per record): recordType, name, firm, jobTitle, practiceAreas, address, addressParts (street/city/state/zip/country/latitude/longitude), offices, phone, email (always null), website, contactUrl, reviewUrl, rating, reviewCount, attorneys, barAdmissions, education, priceRange, profileUrl, sourceListingUrl.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• practiceAreas/states follow FindLaw URL slug format (lowercase, hyphenated: dui-dui, new-york) — not display names.
• A state hub lists 140+ cities; maxCitiesPerHub: 0 auto-sizes expansion from maxItems, which is the safe default for wide runs.
• includeProfileDetails: false returns ~40 records per request (fast/cheap) but leaves offices, barAdmissions, education, attorneys empty and may leave rating/reviewCount as listing-level values.
• email is always null — outreach goes through contactUrl and website.
• Billing: pay-per-result — $0.0009 per record; +$0.001 per enriched profile when includeProfileDetails is on.
