AVVO IS PAID ADVERTISING FOR LAWYERS & SUPPORTS LAWYERS BY MANIPULATING REVIEWS 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%".

I wish I could give them zero starts for attorney marketing service 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.

Tried posting a negative review about a… Tried posting a negative review about a racist lawyer, but they rejected it because it " goes againt community guidlines" how is warning people of a racist lawyer a bad thing??? Beats me. The crazy part is theres videos all over the internet about said lawyer, but i guess they have to protect rheir clientele even if they are racist jerks.

Didn't answer my question, tried to get me as a client I had a specific question about filing for disability and the lawyer seemed unknowledgeable on the process. He hesitated and gave a vague answer without any detail. He then spent a few minutes trying to convince me to use him to file a workers comp claim, which I didn't want to do. It was unhelpful and I felt a little ripped off.

AVVO will not print the negative review I wrote up against a law firm in Wyoming 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.
