Avvo Anmeldelser 

I loved my experience with avrek law always kept me updated on my case and Emily was ALWAYS on point

Going through a divorce can be a difficult time emotionally and mentally.....Hired Melinda Silk and was happy to see how her staff helped walk me through the difficult and confusing process in filling out paperwork. Thank you for your professionalism..

Rude, obnoxious, arrogant attorneys.
Attorneys that have No expertise in area of law that the question is about respond Not to answer question just to be rude.
When someone does actually answer question, not legally sound advice.
Don't use this site if you need real help. Reviews don't match up to Real interactions with these attorneys.
I unsubscribed but still getting rude emails. I'm stressed out as it is and these people are Obnoxious.

Do not trust Avvo reviews. My honest review about an attorney is not approved. This very same attorney will keeps deceiving people in need. Avvo should be held responsible for that. They only approve good reviews. This site is not trustworthy -> Community guideline is “do not post bad reviews on a lawyer who pays us money “?

I posted a question and 2 attorneys replied. However, neither one responded what I asked. Need to work on Reading Comprehension skills
Comment edited: now there is a 3rd useless and sarcastic reply. Why would they even be members of Avvo beats me

One of the lawyers in there responded before fully reading my issue. I have epilepsy for 24 years never controlled by meds because they don't work for me. Now I'm going to my last option which is brain surgery. He said "It depends on if medication controls your epilepsy". I mean really?! I told him the neurologist at an level 4 epilepsy clinic told me no medication will not work for me anymore! When I pointed out to him that I mentioned that and the fact I can't drive ever, take baths or walk anywhere alone he was rude and said "That doesn't mean your disabled" oh yeah sure.. I'll just have friends and family go to work with me.. and he doesn't even know that I've been deemed medically frail by the state which means the state won't even let me do volunteer work. I'm very upset! My life will never be normal again! I have to fear every night before I go to sleep that I might die due to seizures in my sleep, which I have several times a week! My neurologist even pointed out my death rate is higher now.

These people have zero experience. Not one has been able to answer a question. It is all “find an attorney in your area” If that. One answer from an alleged lawyer was so off, I checked with my library reference desk to find I was led in the wrong direction.

I will never trust this site again.

10 or so years ago, you may have got a comprehensive answer. Now it is just a referral service.
A lawyer can’t change their spots.

I've used Avvo during my Divorce and Custody, needed to find a Lawyer That was experienced and not to expensive. I found one on Avvo, but they did not work out, matter of fact they were horrible. I wrote a review on Avvo about my experience with this attorney. no sooner than I wrote it they emailed about my bad review, the problem with that was, I had sent it anonymously, and to make it worse. Avvo had emailed me to inform me that my review needed to be altered because this attorney had challenged my review. So I wrote another one and two days later it was taken down. They are obviously in bed with these Lawyer's, my advice would be to look somewhere else...

Indeed, Avvo does censor negative reviews of lawyers, I just found that out for myself.

Back on 2018-08-14 I submitted a negative review for a San Francisco lawyer Joseph Antonio Lepera on the lawyer site avvo.com. Avvo confirmation message said "Your review of Joseph Antonio Lepera has been submitted for approval. Reviews are typically approved in 1-3 days."

My review was approved by Avvo, and publicly posted on their site (that I'm not allowed to link to on here) shortly afterwards. That review can still be seen via Google cache today 2019-02-26, but obviously not for long.

That review was visible on there since August 2018 until today (~ 6 months), when I received an email from Avvo with title "Action required: Your review for Joseph Lepera was not approved" with the vague boilerplate text "We are writing to inform you that your review of Joseph Lepera was not approved because it does not meet our community guidelines".

Avvo did not provide a specific reason for why my negative review was censored, and did not send information on how to appeal their decision. The lawyer's public profile went from 5 reviews -- 1 negative (and on top), 4 positive to just 4 positive.

Avvo's removal notice wording is also dishonest since they are not "not approving" the review that they already approved 6 months ago, but removing it post-approval.

Lawyer's profile now looks clean, but other people will likely have the same negative experience as me (or worse), and without any warning, and without the ability to share about it with others on avvo.com as their negative reviews will likely also get censored.

My suggestion to anybody reading this and considering posting a negative lawyer review on Avvo:

If your review initially gets approved like mine, go to The Wayback Machine and save it on there in case Avvo decides to take it down later. If that happens, save it again in that state, and then Avvo's hypocracy will be easy for anybody to see by comparing those 2 versions, and your original review will still be accessible.

And BTW, most of the positive reviews on here look fake. Avvo, are you posting fake positive reviews on here?? That's dishonest.

Ive used avvo in the past and never had issues. However today I posted question and got rude answers. One in particular lawyer who doesn't even practice in the field my question pertains to, keeps leaving unbelievable rude comments! I can find a customer support email or number to report nor can I find a way to block him. I flagged him but that doesn't stop the issue. If a avvo representative reads this, hopefully you reply by letting me know who to contact that can stop the rude and unprofessional replies!!!

Avvo is a scam. My review of a terrible attorney was approved and posted after 2 days. Then I get an email saying it was removed and the attorney "disputed" it, please reply to this email, and avvo will re-post or help you change your review.

I replied 4 times now, but 45 days later, Avvo won't re-post my review or even reply to tell me what facts were disputed!!

Worst place to find an attorney or even write a bad review. I hired two terrible attorney who took a lot of money from me. I am trying to warn others. AVVO's response every time, "Debbie Lopez Carr's review does not meet our community guidelines. Please take minute to write a new one." How many times am I going to take a minute to write a new one. If, AVVO is going to continue and delete it every time. I am being honest about my case being botched by this attorney. AVVO, would be a great way of looking for an attorney if they accepted good and bad reviews. Please ppl we work hard for our money, while some attorney's are charging $400 an hr to some ppl that's close to what they make a week. Lets be fair here!

Great innovative company founded by Mark Britton, formerly of Expedia. When Avvo came out is was no darling of lawyers.n fact many sued Avvo contesting bad reviews. Most if not all lost.Some of those same lawyers are complaining at this site. I Unlike Google, Avvo does actively police for fake reviews and will remove those. Avvo was sold last year. Whether the new owners live up to Mr. Britton's vision is yet to be determined.

After posting a review a year and a half ago and having it accepted and viewable I just received a rejection notice and it was removed. It said I could submit another one and I did that. What gives? Did the attorney dispute it. If so why so long? I should know if it was disputed. I was a client and that was clear. I thought attorneys could not get their reviews removed. RESOLVED and REVIEW POSTED.

I was contacted immediately and my review was approved and posted. Fast work and thank you Kat.

Don't trust their reviews. I have had my negative review posted and then removed several times. They sell their services to attorneys. Don't bother to post a negative review it will be censored/removed.

Fake company which doesnt accept negative reviews, I used them, got a very weak and unprofessional laywer and then they rejected my review

2 stars
I picked Adam Wilner based on this websites review, but it did not work out for me. He was not helpful, was dismissive, did not care about me and my transaction. Originally gave an all inclusive price, but then charged separately for report and title search. I truly did not enjoy this partnership

Excellent- quick call back and helpful advice. Would recommend to anyone.

Great experience! I would recommend this site 100%.

Good experience. Would use the service again.

Good for quick legal questions.
