AvvoReviews of avvo.com

My completely legitimate negative review was rejected for some dubious reason. The website is completely biased and useless.

I give avvo 1 star simply because they have a few lawyers on there list that have had there law license suspended like Justin Infurna you can easily look him up and find the illegal info on him and when i went to write a review about the lawyer warning people they wouldn't let me post the review and defended the lawyer even after I told them what he had done to me and others like me. Funny because his license has been suspended since December and your company wrote nothing on his profile about it at all. Which would have been info that wouldve saved me money. Nice try with that lie though. Now if I could I would give your company -2 stars.

OLD: Excellent help from Avvo with complex problem involving use of website badges and domain names. NEW: Avvo was sold to a company that tries to build attorney websites and control attorney referrals. They disconnected domain name control for me. Its sad.....yet another amazing start up that is gobbled up by a large corporation and then milked dry of its value to users.

I left a review of a terrible DC/MD lawyer named Mary Paloger on the AVVO site. The review was submitted, approved and posted. Several days later, they took the post down citing that I didn't indicate that I had hired. I resubmitted the review and cited that I hired her and gave examples. Then declined saying that "Simply accused Mary Paloger of criminal activity or unethical behavior without providing factual details." I wrote the following to their corporate office through the contact page... "I have now submitted two reviews of Mary Paloger. The first was approved, then later denied when Mary complained. I sent another with your suggestions and edits - and then it was deemed "Simply accused Mary Paloger of criminal activity or unethical behavior without providing factual details." Since when did I have to become a lawyer to leave a review. Your site is misrepresenting the reason that this exist. If AVVO is simply going to function as "Linked-In" you should advertise as such or partner with them. I will leave another review later. However, if that is also denied after following your site rules... I will then take my complaints about Mary Paloger and AVVO to twitter, Reddit, and the web. Not a threat, just attempting to be more transparent than AVVO. Your choice."

Avvo is mostly a scam. I posted a question and got replies, but they decided to take my question down because I marked one of their lawyers as "Not helpful". They don't really care whether the lawyer would help you or not, all they care about is $$$. Stay away and don't hire anyone based on their fake reviews.

Max Factor law represented in my divorce case. At the begaining he was ok. After many months of paying Mr. Factor we went to mediation. After mediation I had $600.00 dollars remaining to pay my expenses from my State Retirement. I had worked 38 years for State of Florida. I am paying child support for a 29 year woman that gets a disability check an had large amount of money to my ex-wife. I had to dismiss Mr. Factor when could not get money transferred via QUDRO from my IRA. I paid Mr. Factor a lot of money an received poor representation going against opposing attorney. Future client are u next.

I wrote a professional non-emotional review on an attorney. Despite the fact that the first sentence of their instructions is to include details, they rejected the review for having details. They're in the business of Positive Reviews for fees from attorneys in my experience. If I'm wrong about this, they'll post my review(s), but thus far I can't get a review posted unless it is positive.

I am Maryland lawyer and had an advertising account for many years. It turned out to be a waste of money. I quit the advertising March16th of 2020 and found that call traffic was unaffected by the advertising. It save me $3,00 per month or $36,000.
