Avvo.com claims to be the site for finding "best" lawyers. However, after dealing with 3 years with family attorneys in my area, I now know that, most of the reviews on Avvo are paid by lawyers themselves. In fact, Avvo's business model is designed to serve lawyers and not public.
You can see that many lawyers have disproportionately positive reviews. This is because, they delete any negative reviews posted by public. In fact even the attorneys who have been sanctioned for ethics violations will have hundreds of positive reviews. NEVER TRUST THIS SITE FOR LAWYER.
