I sought legal advice on Avvo due to a serious and frightening situation where my life was threatened. Unfortunately, the response I received from an attorney was dismissive and unprofessional. Instead of providing legal guidance, the attorney told me to quit playing the damsel in distress and suggested I go to a shooting range to learn how to shoot a gun. This response was not only unhelpful but also inappropriate and insensitive given the gravity of my situation.When I attempted to leave a review on Avvo, it was directed to the attorney himself, who denied it, claiming I was accusing him of criminal behavior. This lack of a proper review system and customer service is unacceptable. I am deeply disappointed with Avvos handling of my case and their failure to provide a platform for honest feedback.Review from Joshua E

AVVO is not a real advocate for filling complaints against attorney's but, more of an advocacy for attorney's. It's a sham advertisement for attorney's who are willing to poromote themselves.Review from Eric K

This company is a pay to play platform for attorneys. They reject any negative reviews and will not ask for any information that supports your case. Do not trust the reviews listed as they are mostly from fake accounts and are not accurat.Review from Bobby T

This company does not offer REAL reviews. Instead, they attack reviewers who give negative reviews of lawyers they have listed. I have tried to leave feedback on 3 different lawyers over the last 8 years. I learned today that even the very first one was denied. I just got taken for a load of money from ************************* of **********, and I left a thorough and honest review as I did on other sites ******* and Yelp accepted the very same review) but they denied me saying I was giving false accusations. Worse, ITS BECAUSE I TRUSTED IN THEIR REVIEWS that I hired some of these scummy lawyers. This site is sketchy. It steals the true voices of consumers trying to warn others about predators they partner with. They have no interest in the truth or your need, so its best to skip them by. I emailed them, I recently resubmitted my reviews, and they still deny them on site, and claim my experience is false.Review from Carl B

UNBELIEVABLE!!! EASY TO SEE WHY "F" RATED! THIS IS "AVVO LAWYER REFERRAL"! WHAT AN OUTRIGHT PILE IF CRAP! I WROTE A REVIEW AGAINST A LAWYER. AVVO ASK, "WAS THIS JUST A CONSULTATION OR DID YOU HIRE THIS ATTORNEY". CONSULTED. THE LENGTHY REVIEW HAD 1 CUSS ****, DOG "SHIT"! BECAUSE THAT IS THE **** THE LAWYER USED! REVIEW REJECTED! CHANGE TO "POOP"! REJECTED, STATING I ACCUSED LAWYER OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR WITHOUT PROVIDING FACTUAL DETAILS! ABSOLUTE LIE! NEXT REJECTION "BECAUSE I "DID NOT HIRE LAWYER"! SERIOUSLY???I HAD ANOTHER LAWYER REVIEW LAST YEAR THAT I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO CONTACT AND THAT REVIEW PASSED! AVVO IS A MARKETING COMPANY THAT GETS PAID BY THOSE LAWYERS AND AVVO IS USING DECEPTIVE AND UNETHICAL PRACTICES TO MANIPULATE THE RATINGS OF LAWYERS THAT PAY THEM. THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO REJECT NEGATIVE REVIEWS. IF YOU SEE A LAWYER WITH 10 REVIEWS AND ONLY 1 IS NEGATIVE,,, YOU CAN BET OTHER 1 STAR REVIEWS WERE SIMPLY REJECTED. TELL ME, IF YOU WROTE A NEGATIVE REVIEW AND IT WAS REJECTED FOR A BOGUS REASON, HOW MANY REWRITES BEFORE YOU GIVE UP? AVVO IS "F" RATED AND UNAFFILIATED WITH THE BBB! ******* COMPANIES DON'T CARE WHAT THE BBB SAYS! THE BBB HAS NO LEGAL POWER WHATSOEVER! NEVERTHELESS, AVVO SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED! SO MANY OF THE FEW NEGATIVE REVIEWS ABOUT THE AVVO PAID FOR SPONSERED LAWYERS SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT LAWYERS GETTING PAID AND NOT DOING THE *** THEY WERE BEING PAID TO DO THUS COSTING THE CLIENTS MORE MONEY!! WHAT AN OUTRAGEOUS BUSINESS PRACTICE! IT IS COMPANIES LIKE AVVO AND THEIR DECEITFUL PRACTICES THAT ARE FALSELY MISLEADING THE OVERALL PUBLIC PERCEPTION!!! AVVO SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN! THEIR PRACTICES SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN A PLATFORMReview from Gigi R

Do NOT HIRE A LAWYER FROM HERE. PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE and research the person. I found a really nasty lawyer who has a history of being demeaning on AVVO. I also found misconduct violations for him on the State attorneys office. AVVO is reporting NO VIOLATIONS. This is not only not accurate but highly misleading to people trying to find a Decent lawyer. I asked them to rectify this and provided proof. I think there needs to be a class action against them. Or one lawyer willing to go against them.Review from Eric W

I didnt want to leave a star but had to ************ does not support freedom of speech or protect the First Amendment. Avvo is picky what is asked, and if an attorney responds calling you a 10 year old, and you flag it, AVVO terminates your question. It appears you cant leave a real rating for attorneys, as AVVO tells the attorney and if the attorney does not like it, Avvo will remove it. AVVO supports Attorneys who have nothing better to do than look at new comments and leave lame comments or good ones. My main concern is how AVVO retaliates and when ****** off at ya, they remove stuff you posted or comments or some of your ratings.They deleted many of my questions to be posted and reviews out of retaliation. On 9 26 2023 and other times.AVVO even terminated one of my old accounts for an unjust reason. That was because I told them anything I write on AVVO is copywriter protected because I do not give them permission to make money off my comments or writings. Then they reply that I read the big long notice before I pushed ok. These businesses write a huge long rules and stuff that no one reads. You dont sign anything, they dont tell you nothing but when you push the okay button, they assumed you read it and agree to it. The only thing I agreed to was opening the next screen so I could get on and ask questions. As for attorneys listed on AVVO, I have not found one that is honest, three who ripped me off and a lot of attorneys really are so dishonest it makes the justice system unjustified and WE THE PEOPLE should go back to the western days where we carry and then its okay to notify an armed person to a challenge and boom .... the argument is over. I should have the right to post reviews on AVVO anyway I want. This would allow people who have had an attorney on AVVO make a truthful comment. Angry or not. We should have the right to state how we feel for others to see and decide there on, if the attorney did a good job or not.Review from Cameron N

They don't let you leave reviews if they don't agree with it. Even if you paid and retained the attorney. That is not freedom of speech at all.Review from Lana P

Avvo incorrectly claimed it could legally charge me outside the contract period lapsed over 3 years after the contract expired, and over six months after raising the contract price, and even after I had changed my credit card and somehow they obtained it through **** without my knowledge or consent and continued to bill me!The credit card company is contesting these charges and Avvo has not responded to my demand to produce: 1) any written agreement between Avvo and myself for the increased contract amount 2) any written authorization from me allowing them to access my new credit card information. Avvo claims under a 2019 contract, ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************* when it creased my costs 6 months ago. In my State, where there is no mutual agreement to enter into a new contract modifying a previous contract, there is no new contract and, thus, no modification; therefore, Avvo breached its agreement and should pay damages and had no authority to use my likeness expecting any benefit.

Quit maliciously charging my accountId give them a 0 starts if it was available.
