Web-scraping a list of lawyers
Don't use a bare except statement if it's not absolutely necessary. Catch the errors you anticipate and explicitly want to handle.

Also, there's no reason for the duplicated try/except/else statements, and no use, in this case, of the else statements at all. You can collapse everything into a single try/except, since you do the same thing regardless of which line throws the error.

You also have a little code duplication. Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY).
