Avvo Reviews 

Please beware ! They wi always will go to the lawyer side . They have a conflict of interest What un honest and unprofessional company!! Stay away

When an adverse party is affected by acts of an opposing attorney which are clearly in violation of the rules of Professional Conduct, and said attorney has, in fact, provably committed multiple felonies in defense of their client, including, but not limited to: Attempt to Influence a Public Servant, Forgery, Wire Fraud, Conspiracy, Obstruction, etc. Avvo feels it is within their right, and/or policy guidelines to conceal, aid, and abet? I'm happy to use my sitebuilding and SEO optimization skills to inform as many people as possible that Avvo is untrustworthy, and will do so.
Daniel T. Goodwin of The Law Offices of Daniel T. Goodwin 10901 W 120th Ave Ste 350, Broomfield, CO 80021 defended my former employers in a wage claim lawsuit I had filed seeking wages due upon termination of employment. Daniel T. Goodwin, as proven on the record of the Court, swore simultaneously before BOTH the Colorado Division of Labor, and the Weld County District Court, that NEITHER had jurisdiction over my wage claim, because the matter was before the other.

i was stripped of my Due Process right, and all evidence to prosecute my claim, the case was dismissed, and the employers were awarded attorney's fees in excess of $20,000.00. tey immediately encumbered my home with numerous liens, garnished my wages, and the Weld County, CO DA had my home raided, and I was arrested when I refused to give my tax returns, and the deed to my home to my former employers. Avvo concealed it all. The full horrible 8 year story will be published at hartmannconspiracy dot com September 2021 when the website is reinitiated.

Warning people
Avvo will discriminate you , They will not post reviews against lawyer corrupt and paying them , they invent ghee own policy this a conflict of interest!
Don’t post anything with them all is not honest

Avvo's customer service is a joke. I am a tenant in a 2 family home, and the other tenant family is neglecting their pets and damaging my property. They do not speak English, so I can't communicate with them; and my landlord seems to treat them with kid gloves. For this and other reasons, I believe they are illegal immigrants. Because they're certainly not awful people and I suspect that they may be illegal, I am reluctant to call the police on them which may get them into more trouble than is necessary. I'm sure that most people, lawyers included, after hearing my entire issue, would recommend that I first speak with them or call the police before getting legal assistance. In order to not waste answers from Avvo's lawyers with these recommendations and to stress that those two options are kind of out of the question, I made sure to include our inability to communicate and my reluctance to involve the police in the other facts in my question.

When I went to see my question and potential answers, I couldn't find it. Upon emailing customer service, I was informed by a very nasty "senior customer care representative" named Katherine who informed me that my question wasn't posted (which I'd have never known if I didn't contact them) because I included "unnecessary information" in it. Apparently, "their immigration status and inability to speak English" are irrelevant and discriminatory. I responded to reiterate that everyone suggests speaking with the neighbors first, and then if all else fails, calling my landlord or the police, as well as my reasons for not trying these options first. This "senior customer care representative" never responded to this or any subsequent emails from me.

So, even though I made it clear that I'd rather not get these people into trouble with immigration by involving the police, and cannot do this by speaking with them regarding the issues, one person at Avvo with insufficient reading comprehension skills decided that I must have an issue with illegal immigrants, and decided that I don't deserve legal advice. She also is apparently allowed to completely ignore customers despite being a "senior customer care representative."

Edit/reply: Ahhh, yes. "Community guidelines." Thorough explanation. The only way this would be against your guidelines is if I was just referencing immigration status and language barrier as insults. We both know that this is not the case. Your lovely "senior customer care representative" proved this when she decided to completely ignore that for the second time when I responded to her email. Because if there was a valid reason, a good customer service representative would explain. You can tell Katherine that the police are now involved and, as predicted, the matter is way larger than it needed to be.

The website is horrible. I posted 5 simple legitimate questions AND WAITING for reply whole day long for two continuous days during the difficult pandemic times. They took all down after it answered for no reason. I couldn't reach them for 2 days. It's insane when I need to file a motion on time that no one was responsive as if dead.

The Avvo Founders: Mark Britton, Sendi Widjaja, Paul Bloom should move to China or Russia where censorship is alive and well. This company is a public disgrace because they intentionally censor negative reviews of attorneys even those reviews that are factual and legitimate. The public has a right to know about errant attorneys. Avvo is preventing that type of disclosure. In my opinion, this company is an abomination. Moreover, I have previously written explaining why Avvo's rating system is biased and hugely flawed. Avvo has a terrible track record - Despicable censorship and a seriously flawed rating system. Solution: Avvo should move their headquarters to Beijing or Moscow. They'll be gladly welcomed! By the way, giving this company 1 Star is 1 Star too many. They deserve NO STARS!

Refused to publish a negative review. Blocked me when I linked them to their BBB page showing their terrible reputation. This is a predatory advertising company. NOT a legitimate source of objective customer reviews.

For the record, one star is far too generous for these potential criminals.

Their response is both disingenuous (they're lying) but it's also demonstrably incorrect.

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.

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!
