⚙️ How it works & limits

• Source: Avvo's public practice-area / city directory pages (/{practice-area}-lawyer/{state}/{city}.html, /all-lawyers/{state}/{city}.html), read over plain HTTP — no browser, no login, no API key. Each page holds up to 20 attorneys.
• Deduplicated by attorney id. Avvo's practice-area listings genuinely overlap (about 7 of 20 lawyers appear in both personal injury and car accident for the same city). The Actor claims each attorney id once per run, so an overlapping lawyer is delivered — and charged — exactly once.
• Pagination stops honestly. Past the last page Avvo 301-redirects back to page 1; the Actor treats that redirect as "no more results" instead of silently re-scraping the first page.
• Location is Avvo's search location, not a strict address filter. A "New York, NY" search also surfaces nearby-metro firms (Brooklyn, White Plains, Garden City) exactly as Avvo ranks them. Both the requested search_city and the firm's real city are in every row, so you can filter yourself.
• Two phone numbers, clearly separated. phone is the number the firm publishes in Avvo's structured data. avvo_call_tracking_phone is the pooled number behind Avvo's "Call" button — useful as a fallback, but it routes through Avvo, so it is never presented as the firm's direct line.
• No email addresses. Avvo's directory listings do not publish attorney emails, and this Actor does not guess or enrich them. Use website + an email-finder if you need addresses.
• Listings only. This Actor reads directory listings, not individual attorney profile pages or their reviews.
• Proxy: Avvo returns HTTP 403 to most datacenter IPs (measured: 3/12 pages loaded on datacenter vs 12/12 on US residential), so residential proxies are the default. Blocked pages are retried on a fresh session.

❓ FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads publicly available directory data that Avvo publishes and Google indexes. You are responsible for complying with Avvo's Terms of Service, and personal data you collect is your responsibility to handle lawfully (GDPR/CCPA, CAN-SPAM, TCPA and state bar advertising rules where applicable).

Does it get emails? No — Avvo's listings don't publish them. You get the firm website (64% of lawyers), which is the usual input to an email-finding tool.

Can I scrape a whole state? Yes — pass a bare state ("TX") together with a practice area. all-lawyers needs a city.

How do I get only the strongest attorneys? Set minAvvoRating to 9 or 10. Filtered-out attorneys are never delivered or charged.

How much does it cost? $0.0009 per lawyer delivered — $0.90 per 1,000 — with no Actor-start fee. Duplicates and filtered rows are free.

Can I export to Excel or Google Sheets? Yes — the dataset exports to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets, or pull it via API.
