FAQ

How do I scrape attorney data from Lawyers.com?

The Lawyers.com Scraper handles it. Set one or more US states, optionally filter by practice area, and configure your maxItems limit. The scraper discovers cities within each state, paginates through listing pages, and extracts attorney and firm records.

How much does the Lawyers.com Scraper cost to run?

The Lawyers.com Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.10 per actor start plus $0.001 per record. A 100-attorney run costs roughly $0.20. Residential proxy usage scales with the number of pages visited.

Can I scrape all 50 states at once?

Yes. Leave the states field empty and the Lawyers.com Scraper will iterate through every state. Set a reasonable maxItems limit -- the directory is large, and an uncapped run across all states will take a while and consume significant proxy bandwidth.

What practice areas does the Lawyers.com Scraper support?

The Lawyers.com Scraper supports 30 practice areas including Personal Injury, Criminal Law, Family Law, Divorce, Bankruptcy, Real Estate, Immigration, and more. Pass the practice area slugs in the practiceAreas input field, or leave it empty to scrape all categories.

Does the Lawyers.com Scraper need proxies?

Yes. Lawyers.com uses Cloudflare protection, so US residential proxies are required. The actor configures these automatically through Apify's proxy infrastructure.
