Avvo

I recently posted a negative review on a lawyer and AVVO didn't approve it which is weird because I'm very sure it met the guidelines. What's weird is the only reviews for this lawyer are all positive? Reading all the other reviews on this site and my recent experience with AVVO leaves me to believe they only approve positive reviews which defeats the purpose of posting reviews.

I'm a attorney and I was recently solicited by an Avvo sales rep to purchase advertising on Avvo. I told the rep that I wasn't interested. Shortly afterwards and with no changes to my profile, my Avvo rating dropped by nearly a point. I now suspect that Avvo ratings are based on factors other than an attorney's credentials and I wouldn't trust them.

I posted 3 reviews. The last review I thought wasn't too daming but it was still rejected. Avvo is a joke. I rather use YELP even though I heard taht site too has a pay for reputation system. But I've never experienced that on Yelp.

I did a neg review on an atty and after me in 8 months he had more neg reviews last night looked this seattle atty up and he had all 4 and 5 stars. Pay off from atty to avvo? 4200 down the toilet and he never showed up with paperwork. Always pay for the tape to watch a court proceeding and always show up to a hearing.

I hired attorneys crews and pesquera and also payas and payas in central fl, i found them at this avvo site with good reviews, what a joke, the first law firm neglected my case for almost two years and the second one payas, their assistant always avoid my contact directly with the attorney, i had to fire both firms, what a waste! I try to post my negative reviews at avvo to help other people and they always reject them, thos avvo site is a scam just like those two firms, a total fraud.

I hired attorney Joshua Tomsheck based off of Avvo review and I was absolutely unhappy with him. I tried numerous times to leave a negative review and AVVo would not allow me to do so. That's so not ok.

Yes even though I have done filed out for an attorney to contact me here in Noblesville Indiana I need a lawyer and the person running there Facebook's needs too stop being a smartass. They said they can not hook me up with an attorney it's like ok I can take my money and business elsewhere the moron feeling disappointed with avvo.

In my opinion AVVO reviews are not trustworthy. I attempted to post truthful reviews regarding a Lawyer and a Law Firm. The attorneys had a 10 AVVO rating and they were a train wreck. AVVO refused to post my reviews and in fact took off a review I had posted four years ago regarding a wonderful attorney. I have requested a call from a manager. T he train wreck attorney was hired by me based on the high AVVO rating.

Bob from tel # *******691 called my law firm asking to speak w/ specific attorney. Attorney does not want to take call, I ask politely- please take us off your call list. BOB tells me- he cannot, he has a specific procedure he needs to follow, he needs the email of attorney, tell him no, cannot give that to him and to please take us off call list. He hangs up. NICE COMPANY AVVO

I asked for help to get these two attorney's, Robert Marshall and Jay Finnecy, to stop harassing me. I was looking for advice on a misdemeanor mistake that I had made a year ago, and these two bantered back and forth bad-mouthing me for two days. I asked support for help, and they apologized on their behalf. They also said that they would handle it "internally," which basically just meant they just deleted all of their unnecessary, antagonistic, and rude comments. Instead of helping me, they just covered up the situation. It was my first experience with Avvo, and I don't think I'll ever be using it again.

I tried to ask a question on the Avvo Free Legal Advice site, but instead of getting an answer, I was instead informed that an answer would be coming to my Email...
I did get a couple of Emails from Avvo, but none of them were an answer to my specific question, and instead were links to articles that were similar, but no the same, along with contact numbers for local attorneys.
An answer to my question was never provided, and I did not seek to retain an attorney, just to ask a question, as is advertised by the website.
DOD NOT BE FOOLED by this site, there is no free advice provided at all, just links to other, similar cases. Don't go to Avvo.com, unless you are trying to hire a lawyer, because the 'free question' is just a hoax to trick you!

I wrote several reviews about the law firm with Thomas Atwood on Swift in Richland, Wa. I wrote my review to Avvo stating some specifics concerning how poor of an attorney he was on some very basic issues concerning family law which equated to thousands of dollars. Not only was it the money but it was having to start all over with another attorney and having to try and obtain the very basics and minimums that I was not afforded do to Atwoods lack of knowledge concerning family law. Avvo kept sending back my reviews until I just gave up. Avvo and Thomas Atwood are very very bad choices to make!

My Son was convicted of a very serious drug crime in federal court Mr. Arnkoff fought hard for him the government waiver of the mandatory 10 years he was facing MR. Arnold f always knew the Judge would have given him a lesser sentence if she could have and he was very upset with the government lawyer. My Son has now spent almost 5 years in custody. Recently Mr. Arnkoff f contract me about filing a petition for my son release due to health and Covid reasons. He told me the Judge was no longer bound by the 10 years sentence He put everything into motion and brought his Attorney Friend Michael Holley. The Judge agreed with them that my son deserved being released and he will be returning home with in a few weeks. I can't thank Mr. Arnkofff and Mr. Holley enough for their efforts on behalf of my son

I posted a review about attorney Mike Gruhin. My review was accurate and honest about this attorney. Was contacted by Avvo claiming the attorney said I wasn't his client. I Wrote back to them and stated he is right I wasn't his client. He refused to take my case because he said he was too busy and my case wasn't enough money for him to pursue. I gave him one star. Avvo edited my review and left out a lot of information and he still has Ten stars. If Mr. Gruhin was so busy he would have time to go online and review all the reviews people write about him and dispute what he doesn't like. AVVO is a scam because the tweet the reviews in favor of the attorney.

I questioned and messaged multiple lawyers from my area explaining my case. Some were rude, the answers very vague, some would not even answer at all. Others would contradict eachother, for example: I asked "Is a confession enough evidence"?... once said that "it wasn't enough". Another one said "a confession is enough evidence". And then it thought, WHICH ONE IS IT?

I would provide my case will all of the details possible, I genuenly noticed that they did even read the whole thing. Jumping to conclusions, with vague and VERY unclear answers.

Terrible service, I do not recommend to anyone seeking to be clarified like I was.

Oh and lets not skip the fact that they remove NEGATIVE REVIEWS! Terrible Site, stay away from it.

After being in a horrific car accident, we decided to hire attornies at Garmo & Garmo law offices of El Cajon. All the attornies here are very kind, compassionate and truly understood the stresses, pain and trauma that is involved in this type of accident. Furthermore Attorney Bill Epstein surprised us with way more money than we had anticipated. If you are searching for highly effective attornies for a wrongful injury lawsuit, go to Garmo and Garmo in El Cajon.

I did a review on Michael Peacock, on Avvo and of course they have to review before they post. Avvo is not going to post the things most important that consumers should be aware of, they denied to post my review they came up with their own theory and a fat lie Only because evidently I was the only person to speak up of the bad behavior and bad actions of Mr. Peacock who I consider a terrible Attorney. I will not recommend Avvo to anyone my impression of the information on the Attorneys listed is not adequately right. I suggest call the State Bar or Lawyer Referral and google the name of the lawyer and/or firm and read reviews do not use Avvo their site is base on LIES.

I find it laughable that Conrad Saam claims Avvo brings "transparency" to the legal profession. I have not been a practicing attorney in more than 15 years, yet Avvo has me listed as an attorney in a jurisdiction in which I am not licensed to practice, and includes an old home address in that jurisdiction where I haven't lived in more than 13 years. Add to this the fact that I am on inactive status in the jurisdiction where I am actually licensed to practice, and Avvo is a joke.

Two attorneys answered our question so stupidly we could not believe our eyes. The third attorney, Mark Theodore Tischhauser, clearly wasted hundreds of dollars of his clients' billing time in bullying me with comment after lengthy, rude comment. I refused to be bullied. Four comments and three hours later, he will not stop. UNBELIEVABLE. In trying to get him to cease, Avvo Support deemed that he could do as he pleased as the site primarily is to let attorneys exhibit their "knowledge". Well, his comments are SO bad, I decided NOT to delete my account so that EVERYONE CAN SEE WHAT A TERRIBLE LAWYER AND DESPICABLE HUMAN THIS "attorney" is. Sincere hope that NO ONE WILL EVER use AVVO or this attorney EVER.

I've read far too many posts where usually a dealership or automotive business drove additional miles on a persons car without their permission. The ignorant responses from many attorneys is "without damages then you cannot sue"; however, many States have anti-joyriding laws, or anyone can simply search "joyriding laws" and the name of your State. AVVO has very little accountability for the people who post on there.

Always make sure to verify your odometer when you leave your car with a dealership or any business where you will hand them over your keys. Make sure the employee writes the correct odometer miles on your paper work, and then cross-verify this number with the odometer miles when you receive your car back. They should have not drove your car, and the odometer should be the same number of miles as when you left the vehicle with them unless you gave them permission to drive your vehicle by signing their service contract. You can also gather more proof by taking a photo of your odometer before handing over your keys by using a digital camera.

In short, feel free to ask them questions and you might get solid replies, but be wary that there are some attorneys who simply can care less when comes to making an inference about how to prevent your vehicle from being abused.

AVVO approved my review for a lawyer. Then later AVVO disapproved it. They only let positive reviews post as these lawyers are paying AVVO for marketing. AVVO is better suited for North Korea where freedom of speech is not allowed. AVVO is a nazi

Paid for site that will only allow high rated and pleasant reviews. Nothing is true about anyone on there. I tried twice to post a review about a crappy attorney and both were rejected.

1 star is to much-
Defendant AVVO is not reliable, they criminally tampering with business records specifically removing and deleting facts "Evidence" concerning a documented thief/Felon-
Specifically Defendants WAYNE H. WINK possession of stolen property.
Police records, 911 operator and many witnesses-
Deleting facts concerning possession of stolen property- Tampering with evidence!
Took some time tracking these thief's whom robbed me January 17,2017
