Avvo Rating
Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the
information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.
Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than
those who do not.
