I am not some lawyer from the back of a bus, but an in-house lawyer without any skin in the game, so my sole purpose in asking that my personal information be removed is to deter stalking. But apparently, Avvo will only act on court order. So crossing my fingers that I don't get killed by my ex! LOL. Avvo, Martindale, and Internet Brands... you are unethical. (I can't imagine the poor souls who think that this is a way to find or legitimately rate lawyers! Just go to the lawyer's state bar site.)

Any attorney can write a review with family and friends and get 10/10, and is really bad and has bias.

I wrote a review for a attorney his name is Michael larriux I'm not sure of the spelling but he works for office of regional counsel in west palm beach Florida.the review told the truth this guy sucked and he lost my trial. There was a lot on the line my two children are being molested by their father and the gangstalking judge gave him full custody and the gangstalking attorney who is on avo did an absolutely terrible job.my review was not approved by avo. I wrote no profanity nor used violent or threatening language. Avo allows sorry terrible attorneys to have a stage. Every good review on there is a friend or family or that attorney but almost all reviews are lies and when a real person who was a client of an attorney writes an ho eat review they will not publish it because avo gangstalked.if you are a targeted individual I would definitely not recommend even looking at any attorney on this app.

If you want accurate reviews, contact the State Bar and not some website that generates income through advertising.

This joke of a website, will only allow positive reviews of attorneys. Anything less than that. Regardless of wheather it's an honest, and true review or not.
They're not interested in being helpful to the public. Only kissing the rear end, of some of these sleazy, unethical lawyers.
Get off the web, you joke of a website.

Don't trust AVVO
June 4, 2022

'Atty" Matthew Obermeier has his 1 star reviews taken off and replaced with five 5 STAR reviews! The worst "atty"! He's a liar! He's been arrested for a POCS, FAILURE TO STOP & RENDER AID, and DUI. Don't waste your $$ or time! He has a number of legal malpractice lawsuits filed against him and his partners! Tape him and the courts! Btw, he's in San Antonio, TX! Worst atty ever!

I found attorney Barry Janay on Avvo. Called his office and schedule a phone consultation.
The day and time I was supposed to have the consultation nobody contacted me so, I called his office. The receptionist asked me if I wanted to schedule another appointment for the consultation with attorney Barry Janay.
After I answer affirmative I got another appointment but the same like the first time nobody contacted me again. Called the low firm and again I was asked if I wanted to schedule another consultation. I was already fed up with this kind of unprofessional way of treating a potential client. So, since I can not trust this attorney after all my answer was a categoric"No".
I put an review on Avvo about this attorney and one week later I received an email from Avvo informing me that my review doesn't meet their standards without saying Why?
Was a legitimate review where I share my experience with that attorney.
This attorney should not book appointments if he is not able to honor them. We all have a busy schedule and no time for this nonsense.
So, Avvo proves that is not a company you can trust. Just another Avartise company. Did

Biased bigtime
May 1, 2022

I wrote an honest review about the attorney that replied to me through their website because after reviewing the book of records I rounded up, he couldn't help me and that's fair enough but I asked to pick up my records for a doctors appointment 4 days away and he told me he wasnt going to make a special trip for me but that i could try in a week. He disputed it, Avvo deleted my review without question.

Avvo does not allow people to make free and clear opinions of attorneys they have dealt with. The review or the rating goes to the Attorney to be approved. This does not allow negative feedback to the attorney unless the attorney allows the comment. A review is supposed to allow you to say what you have actually and truthfully dealt with. Good or bad it is your decision. It should not be monitored by the Attorneys decision. I would enjoy the feedback from peoples comments. This would allow me to clear myself up in hopes to change that disagreement with the Attorney or in my case my salvage business. So, the ratings and reviews are not fair with AVVO. I am a business owner since 2006 in salvage. In some cases I need attorney help.

Do not trust Avvo
April 19, 2022

I wrote 2 times a review of a lawyer who I paid and never did anything to resolve the issue. Avvo deleted all my reviews. Actually that lawyer had to refund the money through FL. Bar. But Avvo do not want to accept a negative review about lawyers!

Do not trust these lawyers recommend on Avvo, they lie about the quality of their lawyers. They don't let you post honest reviews unless they are good. This site will waste your money, because you will pick a lawyer only to get taken advantage of. Then when you go to write your review they won't post it. Go to other sites, the terrible lawyer I worked with is on Avvo but not the reputable sites don't trust them. They keep you from posting the truth about a lawyer, they say they don't follow guidelines, that's false, just like their recommendations and their guidelines. Interesting no positive comments about Avvo on Instagram. Go through their page not a single one.

If an atty doesn't like your question, avvo let's him attack you verbally. When he doesn't like your comment to his answer, it's removed. 3 times I actually had my question removed. Then he calls his buddy to attack me too. Avvo doesn't care, they just kept removing my question and responses while leaving their lawyers up. Worthless place with worthless lawyers. Oh, and my reviews of those 2 lawyers? Never posted.

AVVO is a total corrupt joke and not a reliable attorney review site if you want to post a negative review. I tried to post a review on an attorney that I hired and my review was denied 3 times even after providing specific failures by the attorney, which they claimed I didn't provide any didetail. What a corrupt joke this AVVO! Don't trust it!

Avvo will take a lawyer's money for advertising but will not take down obviously fake anonymous reviews. Don't waste your money. There are more reputable legal advertising options available. Avvo will make you file a lawsuit in Washington state in order to obtain the identity of the fake anonymous reviewer causing you to incur ridiculous costs.
