Justia Lawyer Directory Scraper

Turn any Justia Lawyer Directory page into clean, structured attorney data. Scrape by location and practice area, or paste listing URLs and lawyer profile URLs — and get one flat row per attorney with name, phone, law firm, address, practice areas, years of experience, education, bar memberships, website and social links.

Built for legal lead generation, competitive intelligence for law firms, legal-tech datasets, and directory research across every US state, city and practice area.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

• Rich rows out of the box — ~20 fields per lawyer from the directory listing alone: name, phone, profile photo, practice areas, years of experience, city/state, law-firm website, badges (Claimed Profile, Offers Video, Q&A) and free-consultation flag.
• Three ways in — build listings from a location (+ optional practice area), paste listing URLs, or paste lawyer-profile URLs. Mix them in one run.
• Beats Justia's block — Justia serves datacenter scrapers a Cloudflare challenge; this actor routes every request through US residential IPs with a real browser fingerprint, so you get the real page.
• Full profile on demand — turn on Scrape full profile pages (or paste a profile URL) to add the law-firm name, full street address, geo coordinates, every bar membership, education, job titles, social links, fax, opening hours and the profile FAQ.
• Every practice area & location — personal injury, criminal, family, bankruptcy, business, immigration, real estate and more, in any US state or city.
• Stable schema.org parsing — reads Justia's embedded Person structured data plus the listing cards, so the output stays reliable.
• JSON, CSV, Excel or API — pipe straight into your CRM, sheet or pipeline. Billed per lawyer.

🎯 Use cases

You are a…	Use it to…
Legal marketer / lead-gen	Build targeted attorney lists by location, practice area and firm, with phone and website

📥 Supported inputs

Input	Example	What it does
Location	california/los-angeles, texas	Builds & paginates that location's lawyer directory
Location + practice area	california/los-angeles + personal-injury	Filters the directory to one practice area
Listing URL	https://www.justia.com/lawyers/personal-injury/california/los-angeles	Paginates that directory listing
Profile URL	https://lawyers.justia.com/lawyer/{slug}-{id}	Scrapes that single lawyer's full profile

Not supported: case-law documents, client/message data, and anything behind a login. The actor reads only public Justia lawyer directory and profile pages.

⚙️ How it works

1. Classify every input — locations (+ practice areas) become directory URLs; pasted URLs are sorted into listing / profile.
2. Unlock each page with a browser TLS fingerprint over a US residential IP, so the real page is returned instead of the Cloudflare challenge.
3. Parse each listing's lawyer cards + embedded Person structured data — ~40-50 lawyers per page; the ?page=2, ?page=3 … sequence is followed automatically up to your limit.
4. Enrich each lawyer from their profile page (when Scrape full profile pages is on): firm, full address, geo, bar memberships, education, social links, opening hours and FAQ.
5. Emit one flat, deduplicated row per lawyer to the dataset.

❓ FAQ

Can I get the lawyer's email? Justia's public directory doesn't expose attorney email addresses, so the actor returns the public contact fields it does publish: phone, law-firm website and social links. Emails can be enriched from the firm website on request.

How many lawyers can I get per location? Justia returns ~40-50 lawyers per page and paginates deep. Combine a location with a practice area and maxItemsPerSearch to focus the run.

What does Scrape full profile pages add? The listing row is already rich (~20 fields). Turning it on visits each lawyer's profile to add the firm name, full street address, geo coordinates, all bar memberships, education, job titles, social links, fax, opening hours and the profile FAQ — at roughly double the requests. Profile URLs you paste are always fully detailed.

Which locations and practice areas work? Any US state or state/city Justia covers (e.g. california/los-angeles, new-york/new-york, texas) and any Justia practice-area slug (personal-injury, criminal-law, family-law, bankruptcy, immigration-law, business-law, and more).

Do I need to configure proxies? No. US residential routing is built in (Justia blocks datacenter IPs with Cloudflare). Just give it locations or URLs.
