Avvo Scraper — US Attorney Directory & Lawyer Leads (Ratings, Reviews & Contacts)

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Avvo or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "Avvo" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Extract complete Avvo attorney profiles by city and practice area — the data other scrapers leave out: the proprietary Avvo Rating (1–10), client review score with the full star breakdown, review themes and Avvo's AI review summary, the most recent client reviews with the attorney's replies, peer endorsements, every bar license with its status and misconduct record, disciplinary actions, practice-area split, fees (free consultation, contingency, hourly), honors with years, work history, education and associations, and every office with its phone, fax and website. Optionally find contact emails on the firm's own website.

No login, no cookies to supply, no API key. Search by practice area + city or state, or paste Avvo profile and directory URLs.

Why this Avvo scraper?

Avvo is the largest US attorney directory — profiles for practically every licensed lawyer, in every practice area and city. Most Avvo scrapers return a name, a firm and the number Avvo displays. This actor reads the whole profile and ships the richest lawyer dataset in the category:

Use cases

• Legal lead generation — attorneys buy legal marketing, case-management and intake software, malpractice insurance, lead networks, virtual receptionists and CLE. Target by practice area and city, rank by leadScore, avvoRating and reviewCount, and contact through phone, website and email.
• Referral and partnership scouting — find well-reviewed specialists (minAvvoRating, minReviews) with a clean record (hasDisciplinaryRecord: false) in any city.
• Recruiting & legal staffing — filter by years licensed, bar states, practice-area mix, education and work history.
• Market & competitive intelligence — map attorney supply, fees (contingency %, hourly rates, free consultations) and reputation by city and practice area.
• Due diligence & compliance — check bar license status and disciplinary actions across a list of attorney profiles.
• Law-firm M&A and roll-ups — build target lists of firms and solo practitioners by geography and specialty, with every office location.

How to use

• practiceAreas — everyday words or Avvo's own names: personal injury, divorce, DUI, criminal defense, estate planning, family, immigration, bankruptcy, employment, real estate, car accidents, workers compensation, medical malpractice… All of Avvo's 142 practice areas are understood, as are directory slugs such as dui-dwi-lawyer. Leave empty for every attorney in each location.

Three dataset views are ready in the Console: Attorneys (overview), Contacts (lead list) and Ratings & reputation.

Good to know

• Phones. Avvo shows phone numbers for its Pro members; most other profiles only offer Avvo's message form, so those rows have no phone. On Pro profiles Avvo displays a call-tracking line that forwards to the attorney — phone holds the attorney's own number whenever Avvo publishes it, and trackingPhone holds Avvo's line. In the fast directory mode (includeProfileDetails: false) phone is the number Avvo shows on the listing card.
• Emails are never published on Avvo. With enrichEmails on, the headline email is an address on the attorney's own website domain (or a personal mailbox), preferring one with the attorney's name; every address found is in enrichedEmails.
• Reviews. Review counts, the star breakdown and themes cover all of an attorney's Avvo reviews; recentReviews holds the most recent ones shown on the profile (up to 5). Avvo's AI summary (reviewSummary) appears only on profiles where Avvo shows its "Client Insights" box.
• Optional profile sections — fees, social links, publications, speaking engagements, sample cases, awards — are included whenever the attorney filled them in on Avvo.
• A city Avvo has no page for is skipped and named in the run's status — it is never quietly replaced by the whole state. A practice-area term Avvo does not have is skipped with the closest Avvo names suggested.
• Several searches in one run share maxResults fairly, so a filter, a spending limit or a time limit can't use it all up on the first city.
• Residential IPs are built in. Avvo refuses datacenter connections, so the actor always loads Avvo through residential proxies; there is nothing to configure.

How much does it cost to scrape Avvo?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

• Attorney lead - One attorney profile with Avvo Rating, client reviews, bar admissions, practice areas, firm contacts, and lead score.

The current price of each event is shown on the Pricing tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it daily or weekly with monitorMode on to receive only new attorneys in a city or practice area.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/avvo-scraper').call({
    locations: ['Austin, TX'],
    practiceAreas: ['personal injury'],
    maxResults: 100,
    minAvvoRating: 8,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} attorney leads`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new attorney leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored search finds new attorneys.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find top-rated personal injury lawyers in Austin with no disciplinary record and list their phone numbers" and let it run this scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

Tips

• Exhaust a market: split a big city by practice area (personal injury, car accidents, wrongful death…) — each practice area is its own Avvo directory, so together they surface far more attorneys than one all lawyers sweep.
• Highest-quality leads: minAvvoRating: 9 and minReviews: 10 keep well-established attorneys only; withPhoneOnly: true keeps the ones you can call today.
• Cheapest sweep: includeProfileDetails: false reads only the directory cards — the fastest way to list every attorney in a city.
• Slimmer CSV/Excel exports: turn off includeReviews to drop the review and endorsement texts.
• Steady lead feed: monitorMode: true + a weekly Schedule delivers only attorneys you have not received before.

FAQ

How do I scrape Avvo lawyers for a specific city and practice area? Put the city in locations (Austin, TX) and the area in practiceAreas (divorce, personal injury, DUI). Every location is combined with every practice area.

Can I search a whole state? Yes — use the state name or code (Texas, CA) as the location.

Does it work without an Avvo API? Yes. Avvo has no public API — this actor reads the public directory and profile pages, no key or login needed.

Where do the emails come from? Never from Avvo (it doesn't publish emails). With enrichEmails on, the actor visits the attorney's own website and collects the contact emails shown there — what any visitor to that site would see.

Why do some attorneys have no phone? Avvo shows phone numbers for its Pro members only; other profiles only offer Avvo's message form.

How do I get only new attorneys on each run? Turn on monitorMode and add a Schedule. The actor remembers everyone it delivered before and returns only new attorneys.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

Is scraping Avvo legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and Avvo's terms.

Data & lawful use

This Actor reads business and professional listings that the professionals themselves published to be found: names, roles, firms, ratings and the contact details shown on the public listing. Because those details belong to identifiable people, treat the output as personal data. If you are in the EU or UK you are the data controller for what you do with it: have a lawful basis (usually legitimate interest for B2B prospecting or market research), keep any outreach relevant to the professional's line of work, honour opt-outs and deletion requests, and do not use the output for spam.

Under Apify's Standard Actor Contract, which governs your use of this Actor, you are the controller of any personal data in your input and output and scrapesage acts only as your processor: that data is processed solely to run your job, written only to your own Apify storage, never used for any other purpose and never shared onward. If you need help with a data-subject request that involves this Actor's output, open an issue on the Issues tab.
