First and foremost, AVVO ratings cannot be relied upon.  They are determined solely by complying with AVVO guidelines for building a profile.  AVVO has no idea how good any particular lawyer truly is.  Attorneys build profiles and get points for that which determine ratings.  Quite the scam, actually.
