Worked with a lawyer? Write a Lawyer Review
About UsOur Mission and Principles Avvo is guided by two basic principles:
Many of the resources available today were developed for people who are already legal industry “insiders”—but Avvo was created specifically to help people who know very little about the law and may have no experience choosing a lawyer.
We believe that providing open access to information about lawyers, coupled with guidance on how to use that information, is the best way to help people choose the right lawyer. Information is empowering: the more people learn more about attorneys and how to select an attorney, the more comfortable and confident they’ll feel seeking legal help—and we think this will benefit both clients and lawyers. Our Service Information meets guidance in the Avvo Rating—our effort to evaluate a lawyer's background using a mathematical model that considers the information we know about a lawyer. This information is shown in the lawyer's profile, including a lawyer's years in practice, disciplinary history, professional achievements and industry recognition - all factors that, in our opinion, are relevant to assessing a lawyer's qualifications. We also provide a 3-Step Guide to Choosing a Lawyer, with plenty of helpful tips for narrowing in on the right attorney for the job. Avvo will continue to grow, so if you have ideas, suggestions, or even criticism for us, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send us feedback any time. Our Story |
