What is in this dataset?

What US law-firm websites offer, from 123,823 law-firm websites read (out of 1,101,164 websites visited, 2026-10-28 to 2026-10-30): the share that show Spanish-language pages, an online booking tool, live chat, LegalService or Attorney structured data, review markup, HTTPS and a 24/7 intake statement, for every state with at least 100 websites and every practice area with at least 100, plus the number of websites with Spanish pages for each 100,000 Spanish-speaking residents with limited English. No firm is named.

Use it to see what competing firms' websites already do in your state and practice area, and where Spanish-language pages are fewest compared with the Spanish-speaking population. A share is the percent of the group's websites; the row says how many websites it rests on.

Where does the data come from?

A polite crawler read the public home page and a few practice, Spanish and contact pages of each website (robots.txt obeyed); yes/no facts were extracted and websites confirmed as US law-firm sites were grouped by the state of their first office address. Shares are computed from our own saved samples of public pages.

What are the limits?

  • Each row states how many websites it rests on. The whole sample is 123,823 US law-firm websites.
  • A share is the percent of the group's websites. A website can show several features, so the shares do not add to 100. A website is placed in the state of the first office address found on it.
  • Spanish-speaking demand is the American Community Survey 2020-2024 estimate of residents who speak Spanish at home and speak English less than very well, taken from the legal-need dataset.
  • No firm, person or address is named in any row; the file holds counts and shares only.
  • Records older than 130 days since their last check are marked stale in the files until we re-check them. Every confirmed error we fix is listed in the data corrections log.
