💰 Pricing

You pay per lawyer saved, plus a small add-on when the full profile is opened:

Examples: 1,000 lawyers from directory pages ≈ $2.00; 1,000 lawyers with full profiles ≈ $4.00. Platform usage (compute and residential proxy traffic) is billed on top and is small: about one cent per 1,000 directory lawyers and under ten cents per 1,000 full profiles in our tests. Lawyers skipped by your filters are never charged, and the run stops cleanly at your maximum total charge.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Justia? The actor reads only public directory pages that anyone can open without an account. You are responsible for how you use the data, including privacy and marketing laws such as the GDPR, CCPA and the CAN-SPAM Act.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. The actor uses US residential proxies by default, because Justia is protected by Cloudflare.

How many lawyers can I get? Justia shows up to about 50 lawyers per directory page and at most 25 pages (roughly 1,000 to 1,250 lawyers) per search. For large lists, combine several practice areas, states or cities; duplicates are removed automatically.

Why are some fields empty? Lawyers fill their own profiles. Ratings, education or a website are missing when the lawyer did not add them. Bar admissions, languages and awards need Open each lawyer profile.

Is there an email field? No. Justia does not show lawyers' email addresses; it uses a contact form instead.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs in the console, or start runs and read datasets through the API and integrations.

⚠️ Limits

• US lawyers only (Justia's directory).
• Justia shows at most 25 directory pages per search (state, practice area and city combination); split big searches by practice area or city to go further.
• Client review scores and review texts are not collected.
• A city must be combined with the state it is in.
