📌 Overview

The Avvo Lawyer Scraper turns Avvo's attorney directory into structured B2B legal leads. Give it a practice area (divorce, personal injury, criminal defense, immigration, bankruptcy…) and a US state or city, and it walks the full paginated results — 20 attorneys per page, 100+ pages, thousands of lawyers — returning each as a clean record.

Flip on Fetch full profile details to open each attorney's page and pull the complete professional record: bar license (jurisdiction, recognizing bar, admission date), Avvo rating, review count, awards, languages spoken, law school and a full bio.

It needs no login, no cookies and no API key — it reads only public directory data through US residential proxies. With no headless browser it's a fast, low-cost way to assemble large attorney datasets.

✅ Set maxResults: 0 to pull an entire practice-area + state directory in a single run.

📦 Output

📖 Output field reference

With fetchProfileDetails: false you get the search-level subset (name, profile, phone, address, practice areas, rating) — much faster and cheaper for volume.

⚙️ How it works

1. You provide a practice area + US state (or explicit Start URLs).
2. The actor builds the Avvo search URL and paginates it — 20 attorneys per page — until results run out.
3. Each result is parsed from the page's JSON-LD structured data into a clean record.
4. If Fetch full profile details is on, each profile page is opened for the complete record.
5. Results stream to the dataset, de-duplicated, ready to export.

No login, no cookies, no API keys — and no account is ever used or risked.

❓ FAQ

Is this an Avvo API alternative?

Yes. Avvo has no public attorney API, so this actor works as an Avvo API alternative — it reads public directory pages and returns the same fields (name, firm, phone, address, bar license, ratings, bio) as structured data.

Can I scrape Avvo without login?

Yes — it scrapes Avvo without any login, cookies or API key, reading only public directory data over US residential proxies.

How do I export Avvo lawyer data to CSV or JSON?

Every run is an Avvo attorney data export: results stream to a dataset you can download as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML, or pull via API and webhooks.
