AvvoReviews of avvo.com

This site literally censors certain legal questions, and deletes them! I would give negative five star if I could, and if there were no negatives stars on review but had 0 star giving option, then that would be posted. It’s not given, it’s earned 100%! I asked a question such as if a female rapes a male, if she is subject to the same level of penalty, or if a male gets raped by a female and she gets pregnant, if he would still have to pay child support. Other questions were like if schools can legally require girls to wear sandals while either not requiring or prohibiting sandals for boys at the same time, either for daily wear dress code or for graduation ceremony, and they some of them were removed! On one of them regarding female on male rape, a rude attorney living in Los Angeles area in California responded saying something like "It seems surprising how you posted this question at 5 in the morning. You must have been happy while posting it. I left him a negative review on him about the response he gave, then a few hours later I got a notification saying that the review got removed due to "violating" terms and conditions! I bet if the question was flipped for genders and the attorney answered in that same way, and I left him that same negative review, he would have been fired and would have lost his lawyer certification! This website literally thinks it is politically incorrect to ask questions about female on male tormenting of most kinds! This is just plain ridiculous! The website is managed by jerks or the terms and conditions were written by complete sexist jerks who literally have no place in the corporate world or in the judicial branch at flippin all! So I guess according to them, if a male gets raped a female, that he has to accept it and like it! How flippin despicable! Seriously? This is not okay!

This website is not what it advertises itself to be. The website will not allow clients harmed by an attorney's misconduct to post a negative review describing how an attorney mistreated their client. I've literally had to go to the BBB and seek their assistance in order to get a review published which happened after contacting and communicating with Avvo's customer service who were not helpful at all.

I am an attorney who pays AVVO every month to generate cases. I have now been with them for 5 MONTHS AND NOT A SINGLE CASE or even an inquiry has come to me through them. So far this has been a complete waste of money and time. My advice would be to stay away from them if you are looking to grow your business.

I posted a completely legitimate question and Avvo removed it for no reason at all. Not in violation of ANY policy or ToS. Scam much? Censorship at its best. Stay away.

I am an attorney who signed up with AVVO for marketing my practice about 4 months ago. In these four months I have received exactly ZERO contacts/calls/cases. Only after I complained and tried to cancel did they try to improve my listing. That was a month ago and still zero calls. So far a complete waste of time and money. I would not sign up with them again.

I placed a negative review for an attorney who objectively speaking-definitely earned it. Avvo denied my review at least 30 or so times. Every single time, they either simply said "community guidelines" or picked a rule with vague at best delineation, and told me to p*$s off. I modified the article many times thinking "this is a bit excessive and I don't run into this very often but OK, I'll change it". Their actions, in refusing repeatedly to publish this review, and demanding that I change it, amounts to coercion as well as a violation of my 1st amendment right to free speech when they list a means of communicating, I comply with it, and they deny it for no tangible or substantial reason. Avvo denies private individuals the ability to publish a negative review, and I am one of thousands who they have rolled over. F*^K YOU AVVO. I will see you soon, in person.

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.

This place is a joke. I couldn’t even get a basic landlord/tenant legal question answered on their site.
