Avvo deletes most negative reviews

Avvo deletes most negative reviews. It even approves some and then removes them if the lawyer files a dispute. It is not a trustworthy platform. Due to its behavior and tendency to remove negative reviews, its rating system is meaningless. Do not trust anything on that website.

I contacted Avvo seeking legal help and received no response at all. When someone reaches out in good faith, especially for something as important as legal guidance, being ignored is frustrating and unprofessional. Clear communication and timely follow-up should be the minimum standard. My experience showed neither, and that’s why I can’t recommend Avvo at this time.I also want to caution others: Avvo operates more like a marketing platform than a client service company. Their focus is on selling visibility to attorneys, not on providing timely or reliable help to people who come here looking for answers. That explains why their overall rating is so low- and why my own outreach went ignored. Don’t waste your time expecting real communication here.

AVVO is a scam

AVVO is a scam. I paid the admin fee and posted my question for an attorney to review. Now the owner of the website blocked my IP Address so I cannot access the information (if an attorney responded).

Avvo - Protecting Corporations not People AVOID

Avvo is clearly designed to belittle and harass consumers who are trying (legitimately) to file lawsuits against corporations for criminal offensses. This is evident when reading one consumer whose life was totally ruined by eBay. eBay clearly committing illegal acts of lying, cheating, and stealing thousands of dollars from a seller. The claim included serious criminal offenses committed by a California Corporation. And all these so called "Attorneys" did was attack the individual who was attempting to hold eBay accountable. Stay away from Avvo. Use common sense and file complaints at police stations, and other law enforcement agencies for criminal activity taking place at corporations. You can hold the CEO and President responsible. You will also see that eBay executives are currently serving time in jail already.

Do not trust Avvo

Do not trust Avvo. Avvo intentionally removes negative reviews. Avvo protects attorneys. Avvo is not in business to help customers.

They do not post bad reviews of lawyers

I was not allowed to share my experience of hiring a lawyer with other members of the community.It seems that only positive experiences can be shared on this website, which is pointless in my opinion.I believe that all opinions are important so that others can avoid scams and annoyances.

Really and truly the most fraudulent…

Really and truly the most fraudulent site out there. No matter how you alter your review they won’t post it. Lawyers pay for positive reviews and that’s all they’ll post. I submitted a review discussing my bad experience. It stated “I hired so and so…” Avvo denied it saying I never stated I hired them. They went on to say I was falsely accusing the lawyer. Excuse me?? I didn’t see avvo in the room. It’s unbelievable. If there was a way to post the emails Avvo sent me I would. They are mind blowing.

AVVO

I wrote so many review times for my lawyers and always denied for malpractice lawyers. I believe AVVO did not take bad rating and probably works for lawyers.

Another review website that rejects negative reviews using cyclical logic that it doesn’t comply with the guidelines.

I’ve had plenty of problems with them before where I could submit the exact same review over and over again and eventually it gets approved once it hits a reasonable approver. Today, I was told that I accused an attorney of illegal or an ethical conduct without providing any details.Please look at the provided submission and tell me how I didn’t provide details. I did; their reasoning is bogus.“Title - Walked into unnecessary servicesThese guys were clearly looking for an opportunity to make money off of us. My ex husband was apparently walked into an unnecessary mediation when for some unknown reason he called to get advice for an uncontested divorce. So, it was much to my surprise when they contacted me to schedule a mediation and then several weeks later asked for $300 for me. When I wrote them saying I never asked for this and I wasn’t paying them anything, I received a snarky imprudent response, which was my typical experience whenever there was conflict when I lived in Kendallville, from the owner essentially indicating I wasted his time.“

Garbage site

Garbage site. I asked a question, it got taken down. Yet the site still spams me with promotional offers.

A pretty pointless site

A pretty pointless site. If you ask a question for guidance on where to look for information or what are some steps you can take the answer provides can usually be summed up to “I don’t know you should hire a lawyer”. Along with this the lawyers never respond on the site. Better of just using google

Avvo blatantly discriminates against users

Avvo actively DOESN'T deliver my question to relevant attorneys sending them to unqualified ones or bots on purpose and then deletes EVERY question so I can't get help. It is obstruction of justice for the consumer. Again this is every question ongoing also there is deliberate race and gender discrimination to users to prevent the right attorneys from connecting and when you explicitly state the expertise of the attorney you seek the matrix is petty and offended because you don't need the attorney they want you to hire. Useless, unprofessional, hostile to inquiry and no support.

I asked a question about suing a Law Firm for Malpractice & Negligence. I never got a reply! Total radio silence. Which exemplifies that lawyers protect other lawyers when it comes to wrong doing. Enough said.

AVVO.COM — Rude lawyers and they censor reviews!

Read the (real) reviews on here, not the fake paid 5-star reviews. AVVO is a horrible place to seek unofficial legal advice and find an attorney. Most of the attorneys on there are just lawyers who don’t even practice law anymore. The lawyers on there are rude & unprofessional and AVVO them to remove & censor their own reviews. Save yourself the headache and just contact the bar directory in your state. My personal experience was with one specific attorney, J. Scott Scarbrough of Loveland, CO was absolutely horrible for no reason at all… but he is also infamous for reporting & scrubbing his reviews. And AVVO allows it?! Yet another red flag about this site, so just avoid AVVO at all cost.

Rude and unprofessional attorneys.

I posted a question and I got one lawyer who responded. This lawyer was rude, unprofessional and started making fun of me and my situation. He never even actually answered my question it was nothing but tirade after tirade from him. I corrected him and put him in his place. He was so humiliated that he made a false claim of trolling to the sight to have my questions taken down. Well the question is back up and I humiliated someone with a law decree. If you need a question answered I would go somewhere else.

Avvo is a SCAM

Avvo is a SCAM. A while ago, I posted a neg. review about an attorney who didn't do his job, and Avvo removed it. Now, i am trying to post a review about an attorney who scammed me good - Avvo refuses to p[ost it stating it's my second, duplicate review - which is a lie, yesterday was the first time ever I submitted a review for him. That attorney called me yesterday and threatened me with a "defamation suit" and said he will post that I am mentally sick.Out of more than a dozen attorneys only two (partners) are good people. Others scammed me and threatened me. The whole corrupt system needs to be taken down and re-built. Including Avvo
