Avvo Bewertungen 

Avvo has denied/rejected every Negative review i've written, citing "Contained language not appropriate for a public, professional forum". I have kept documentation regarding Avvo's claims, and screenshots, etc., and clearly they are utilizing a broad/open "claim" to reject negative reviews. Why? Because Lawyers, and those being reviewed, are their desired "customers," etc. Avvo is owned by, or at least co-operated with, Martindale-Avvo (it's right there, in the name), who ALSO is targeting attorneys as perspective clients/users, & is also another fake "review" site. I'm currently re-submitting my reviews, and taking screenshots, researching, regarding Avvo, and their false assertions of "language" which are obviously Untrue. I'd love to provide some Reddit links: 1 has comment regarding the poster's understanding that Avvo wants attorneys to pay to become subscribers, and often will remove negative reviews, to clean-up a lawyer's profile, which makes sense with their motive; one explains that Avvo is Martindale-Avvo, but I can't give links here. Do NOT rely on Avvo, or most sites, they ALL have reason, motive, and intention, to "protect" those whom they desire to have business with, make money from, or at least utilize in some way. Due to character limits, and censoring Negative Reviews at most "review" sites, I made a video regarding Evan Taylor, the attorney i'm trying to warn people about - Evan Taylor (Owensboro, KY "Attorney") My Review ; Unfortunately, most sites will hide, or remove, or deny ANY Negative reviews, because it is in their best interest, and motive, to do so.

Avvo removes some/all negative reviews it receives of lawyers. It says it removes it for violating it's terms / guidelines, but even if the review is worded such that it can in no way be seen to violate the terms / guidelines, they will still remove it if it is negative. It leaves them up for a short while, but if you look at any lawyer, 90+% of the reviews are positive. The few 1 star reviews will eventually get deleted. I don't how avvo makes money, but my guess is there is a big incentive for them to keep negative reviews to a minimum. I wrote a bad review of an attorney and after a few months it got removed - I edited it like 5 times, to the point it was basically just 1 vague sentence and a 1 star rating. Even that got taken down! Avvo basically tricks the public while helping lawyers commit malpractice. I would love to see a class action suit where they are forced to reveal all the reviews they have taken down.

I needed to discuss a situation involving protecting my 91y.o. mother who suffers from Dementia. The lawyer uses avvo marketing services. Long story short on the lawyer,,, she basically called me a liar, told me I should just let her apartment complex allow their employees to break their own rules and local, state, & federal laws. I write a review & used a word the lawyer used,,, she said I should just put up with the dog S_ _ T! AVVO REJECTED BECAUSE THE "S" WORD. I CHANGE IT TO POOP. AVVO REJECTS IT NOW BECAUSE I DID NOT ACTUALLY HIRE THE LAWYER,,, AVVO ASKS WHEN LEAVING A REVIEW "WAS THIS A CONSULTATION OR DID I HIRE THE LAWYER... I STATED CONSULTATION. LAST YEAR I CONTACTED A LAWYER THAT SAID RESPONDS TO CALLS BUT BEST TO EMAILS IN 24 HOURS. I CALL A COUPLE OF TIMES NEVER HEARD FROM HIM. I SEND AN EMAIL AND GOT A GENERIC REPLY ABOUT THEY RECEIVED MY EMAIL,,, NEVER HEARD BACK, SEND ANOTHER EMAIL,,, STILL NEVER CONTACTED ME SO I LEFT NEGATIVE REVIEW AND AVVO POSTED IT. 1ST THING I SAID IN THAT REVIEW WAS "I CAN'T REVIEW THE LAWYER DIRECTLY BECAUSE HE NEVER RETURNED ANY CALLS OR MESSAGES EXCEPT THE ONE SAYING THEY RECEIVED MY EMAIL AND WILL GET BACK WITH ME. AVVO REJECTED THIS CURRENT REVIEW A 3RD TIME STATING I MADE COMMENTS ABOUT THE LAWYER BEING UNETHICAL,,, NOT EVEN SURE WHAT PART OF THE REVIEW POINTED OUT WHATEVER MAY BE UNETHICAL, BUT,,, WHEN YOU CONTACT A LAWYER TO GET ASSISTANCE PROTECTING YOUR 91Y.O. MOTHER SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA OR ANY DISABILITY AND YOU POINT OUT THEM BREAKING RULES AND LAWS LIKE JUST PUT UP WITH STEPPING IN THE POOP THE MANAGER'S DOG IS NOT GETTING PICKED UP,, OR THEM LYING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND WESHOUKD JUST "PUT UP WITH IT"!!!
SOUNDS PERHAPS UNETHICAL,, ALTHOUGH I NEVER USED THST WORD IN MY REVIEW!
AVVO IS A MARKETING COMPANY FOR LAWYERS. LAWYERS PAY THEM MONEY TO BE LISTED ON AVVO'S SITE. AND AVVO WILL DO WHATEVER OR SAY WHATEVER TO ELIMINATE AS MANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS AS POSSIBLE...AVVO IS "F" RATED WITH THE BBB. HERE ON TRUSTPILOT THEY HAVE LESS THAN 2 STARS WHICH IN ITSELF IS MISLEADING...BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT LEAVE "0" STARS. SO IF EVERYONE GAVE THEM A "1" STAR RATING/REVIEW... IT WOULD LOOK AS IF THEY WERE 20% OK WHEN REALISTICALLY THEY WOULD BE "0%".

The attorney assigned to my case simply identified himself as "David Lawyer". I had questions about specific code sections that might apply to my situation. The response I got repeatedly was so generic it might have been produced by AI rather than a real attorney. "You have nothing to fear since you have done nothing wrong."

"It appears that we have addressed all your concerns and there are no immediate actions required."

AVVO is nothing more than a site who only wants Happy Reviews on lawyers. I had a terrible experience with the Platte River Injury Law Firm. I wasted 9 full months with this company, who was supposed to sue a negligent Wyoming neurologist. They pretended to be very interested in my case. In the end, they did nothing and it cost me alot of money to try to get well. I wrote up a negative review, and 2 times AVVO rejected the review. I guess they are running a lawyer protection website and does not want to hear anything bad about a law firm. Don't waste your time on AVVO if you have anything negative to say about any attorney.

Really disappointed with this website. I asked an immigration question.. 2 “attorneys” replied and they were so patronising and rude. When I pointed out to one how rude they were (one of them had made some incorrect assumptions- sadly avvo only gives you a certain amount of characters to write), they deleted my question. When I googled the attorneys, neither had a website, and one had gone to a really dubious college. Not recommended

I have a simple request for representation, an easy winnable case. I tried several attorneys on their website not one has reached back out to me. Just as bad as all other rude pointless webservices.

lawyer Stuart plotnick was very experienced and expert in his profession. Work diligently with my counterpart to get claim through accordingly. Lost wages and medical expenses were made out. Secondly, outspoken generously.

My lawyer from avvo was inexperienced and unethical. Avvo approved my review on her in 2021, then took it down in 2023 claiming I was not detailed enough. I was very detailed about what I experienced. The lady did not know law. Avvo refuses to protect future victims of this woman by not allowing people to see what she has done.

I'm an attorney and was suckered into advertising/marketing with Avvo. To date, I have received exactly zero leads or return on the investment. I have contacted multiple people with Avvo including but not limited to my account rep and have received nothing but silence. You might as well flush your money down the toilet because it will be less frustrating and equally as profitable as advertising or marketing with Avvo / Nolo / Martindale.

My daughter hired Rosenkranz Law Firm for me when my husband was ill and we need to get some personal stuff taken care. He help me in so many different ways.
He explained everything to me so I would understand it. It was handle very professional. I would hire him in a minute. Everyone in his law firm where very cordial.

Don't trust that company. A lawyer stole my money yet he's rating is 10 they only approve good reviews

This website is designed for only 5-star legal reviews, if your review is not satisfying the lawyer reviewed it will be immediately dismissed "due to violation of rules" and there is, in fact, no way not to violate rules designed to protect lawyers from any score lower than 5.

If you're giving 5 stars - no rules for you :)

I dealt with family law attorneys for over 5 years in NJ. Actually, I was initially an avid supporter of Avvo and relied on it. After experience, I have found out that Avvo is actually gets paid by lawyers for reviews. Hence, you will see disproportionately positive reviews for some lawyers. It is unthinkable for me that any lawyer would be so popular.

In reality Avvo will delete your negative review even after providing them proof of misconduct. Surprisingly , you will find hundreds of "5 star" review seven for the attorneys sanctioned by Supreme court for ethics violation.

Avvo is nothing but a marketing website, paid by lawyers and sponsored by lawyers.

Never rely on Avvo reviews.

Avvo does not allow truthful reports about lawyers by their clients, thus Avvo is not useful at all, misleading people that are seeking legal help.

I was so lucky to have found a great lawyer at Perez Law firm. Her name is Leticia Perez and I was looking to get my citizenship. I looked for a lawyer because I had problems with the law in the past. Leticia was not only very professional but also made sure everything was in order before submitting my citizenship application. She did a great job, fast and kept me in the loop. Leticia is also a family and criminal lawyer. I would recommend Perez Law firm 100%! If you want good results and a trustworthy lawyer; Perez Law firm is very recommended. I plan on hiring her for a custody battle. Trust me, I don't just trust and hire any lawyer, but I know I am in good hands with Leticia.

So in an honest review of an attorney that was submitted this evening, it came back rejected along with two other reviews I submitted weeks prior. They were holding on to two reviews for weeks and then hit me with three rejections all at once. The latest one cited that I "simply accused ____ of criminal activity or unethical behavior with no factual details"? First of all, NOTHING in my review was "simply" done by anyone in any way. That's such an extremely negative, judgemental and opinionated, such a targeted and biased approach in characterizing my review, how is this place still in business? Who talks to people like that? Then you're just going to hit me three rejections all once with reviews I submitted at least 3 weeks prior? At least. How this platform is still in business is my biggest headscratcher, but most importantly they need to show some more respect to their constituents. I do not know if this is how they address other people or not but just from a quick glance at these ratings it seems like that I am not alone in this. Whoever you are who is extremely judgemental about my reviews you need to watch your mouth. At any given point in life you can lose your job that you have taken advantage of in a heartbeat, you need to be more respectful, the rug can be snatched from under you anytime. It sounds like you are dissatisfied with your career. If you are that disgruntled I suggest you go see a career coach or a therapist. But coming to work unhappy with your life it shows just by how you "simply" talk to others.
******Update ****
In lieu of the business's response, that your system automatically accused me of accusing others of criminal activity, something I never said, I still don't buy it. Your system may be smart but it's still a dumb machine that can't do anything until you tell it to. Nor do I believe your system is running around accusing users of saying things I never said. Grossly mis-characterizing and putting words in my mouth before it's rejected. Again, without code, your "system" is useless. Nice try trying to pass the buck off to your "system" while banking on hoping I'll just accept your response as credible because you may believe that I may not be tech savvy enough to know the difference. Even if what your saying is remotely true, then you should change your code. It's not appropriate for your automation to accuse me of something I did not say. I have never heard of anything like this before, runaway rogue code hardwired for contempt. I stand firm and as I said before, again, your company needs to adapt a more respectful approach to the manner in which you address me, because automated or not, I will not tolerate being accused of saying something I didn't say. It's slander. How is your automated system going to respond when I tell it that I'm going to sue your company for defamation? That's probably where the automation ends and a real human lol has to step in and undo the damage right? Get it together!

I posted a question under the ask a lawyer section. Will my case be settled? "Shopping While Black". Shortly after posting my question my entire post was removed. When i asked AVVO why. i was told A lawyer did so without reason, and my post would be reposted. I still haven't received an answer for my question idk know if my question is viewable. Please tell me who tried to silence me? BTW No evidence was submitted during the ROI, and it looks like i will win in full by default judgement. AVVO Thank you by being poor at providing help you may have saved me millions on attorney fees.

I’m so grateful to Tracey and Channy at Tracey Cruz law firm out of Santa Barbara California they were so dedicated and knowledgeable about law and how things work in the courts system. Channy was my champion she carried me through the whole process and we prevailed and I’m super happy to have been represented by them.

In my opinion, AVVO is harboring corrupt lawyers from public sunshine. I have left a honest and trustworthy review of a lawyer, AVVO denied my review and no response. In my opinion, AVVO is acting as a coverup website for corrupt lawyers.
