Bernard was super helpful, prompt, and stuck with me until my issue was resolved. Very great listing platform with high DA. Thanks for being timely with great customer service, Avvo!

I asked a question, got really helpful answers and spoke personally with a lawyer who further helped me. I couldn't get one lawyer in my town to talk to me to answer some questions. Literally! In one day the laywer I spoke to on Avvo answered all my questions accurately. Wonderful experience and trustworthy.

I gave a poor rating to an attorney on AVVO with an explanation of why she deserved a bad rating. The review was anonymous and avvo initially published it. But then the attorney disputed the review, although she allegedly did not know who wrote it. AVVO removed it and sent me an email. Apparently, this attorney advertises on avvo, so only good reviews are allowed for her. AVVO reviews of attorneys cannot be trusted.

Kat from customer service fixed my issue in like 30 seconds. My name was not listed correctly on the Avvo site (which is a big deal for an attorney) and I thought I'd have to go through a whole administrative hoopla to get it fixed. I explained to her via chat and she just fixed it. Thank you!

I asked a question but received a condescending opinion and rudeness, never got an answer to the question. Then Dorothea Elaine Laster flagged my question because I didn't find her answer helpful. Very unprofessional.

I asked a question and it was never even addressed, just emails to try to get me to contact a lawyer in my area. It's just a bait-and-switch scam to drum up business without helping a consumer. I'd give zero stars if that were possible.

When going through my divorce and custody trial, the family court assigned a children’s attorney Dianne Braun Hanley. She was dishonest and biased from the beginning. My lawyer said she’s never seen such blatant bias. She saw the children once when their mother brought them to her office but refused to see them with me. It took weeks of back and forth and cost me over thousand dollars in legal fees to arrange that visit. The children (7 and 10 years old), told her that they want to be with each parent half the time and Dianne Hanley proceeded to tell the judge that the children asked to be with the mother. When I told the children that the judge’s decision was based and what the attorney for the children said, they screamed “SHE IS A LIAR!”. In addition, Dianne Hanley did zero investigation into this matter (she is supposed to do it according to the NYS Ethics for Attorneys for Children document) stating that “I am not a forensic investigator”. Again, the bias was so obvious that my lawyer with 25 years of experience could not believe what was happening. After that, I tried adding a review on Avvo and it was not approved since she was not retained by me (technically yes it was for my children who were 7 and 10 at the time). Do you expect the children at that age to write a review on Avvo themselves? What a shame that Dianne Hanley gets off the hook and continues to practice with a bias lying “on behalf of children”

AVVO is full of attorneys that literally have no clue as to what they are talking about and their response to alot of peoples messages are very rude and condescending. The unprofessional verbiage and the incompetent responses leads me to believe alot of those attorneys can't be real attorneys or its real easy to become a lawyer, considering their level of intelligence to the questions that are being asked.
