Justia Scraper | $4 / 1k | Fast & Reliable

Overview

Justia Scraper | $4 / 1k | Fast & Reliable collects detailed public attorney information from Justia.com search results, practice area categories, or specific profile URLs. Justia is one of the largest attorney directories in the United States, making it a valuable source for verified profiles, contact details, practice areas, and professional background. This actor keeps collection automated, consistent, and ready for repeat runs so you can focus on analysis instead of manual browsing.

Quick Recommendations

• Combine with faster sources: Pair this actor with Avvo (https://console.apify.com/actors/LfLFZ56UVZYR73Fer) or Martindale (https://console.apify.com/actors/3BZIGdhQuWeigY6CH) to expand coverage and speed.
• Justia's result cap: Each search returns around 1,250 listings max. Split large states or practice areas into multiple, more specific queries (e.g., add practice-area filters or run several targeted searches) to capture everything. Avvo and Martindale actors do not enforce this limit, alternatively you can check them.
• Gaps in emails: Emails are scraped from attorney websites, so some records will be blank if the attorney do not provides any emails. Alternatively, Avvo and Martindale scrapers offer verified emails across all listings.
• Target cities with URLs: The Scrape by Query section only lists states. For specific cities (e.g., Austin instead of the entire Texas list), use Scrape by URL with the Justia search link you want, such as https://www.justia.com/lawyers/personal-injury/california/san-francisco or https://www.justia.com/lawyers/texas/austin.
