Rep was very patient and tried to help

A client wrote a review of our services, unfortunately, something went wrong and it was never posted. He tried to locate the information but was not able to do so. Consequently, he suggested that we contact our client to repost.

I feel a sense of security and safety because of Avvos help

Original review Jun 24, 2024

My ci fictive ex would tell me how hed destroy my reputation. When I refused to go back he started posting horrific and untrue things.

I refused to give in but when I called Avvo they took care of removing his false posts in 30 minutes!

They helped me preserve my reputation and take the power away from my vindictive and abusive ex.

I cannot express what a relief it was for them to act so quickly. THANK YOU AVVO SUPPORT - youll never know how much that meant to me

Cons:
  • Can be an abusive tool or vindictive tool

Preferred solution: Protection from people trying to use Avvo as a form of abuse - better screening process … I guess

User's recommendation: If you have left *** reviews - reach out to your client. But if they are truly fake Avvo has your back

Nonresponsive - and posts wrong phone numbers on my paid account!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I upgraded my Avvo account and now pay $199 a month for advertising. The reason I upgraded was to obtain new clients.

Since October 2023 I have been complaining to Avvo that they are posting the wrong phone numbers on my account -- phone numbers that have never been affiliated with my business. Despite repeated emails to customer service, calls to customer service, and numerous emails to my "account manager," I get no response. They refuse to call back and refuse to correct the numbers. I am paying money for nothing.

No one can contact me through Avvo. Before I upgraded I was able to change my contact information on the profile site, but I do not have that option now with the upgraded service.

Do not upgrade and do not pay Avvo. It is a waste of money and only causes problems.

Biased

Avvo is not to be used as a reliable source for those looking to hire attorneys. They target lawyers for premium services.

Therefore, Avvo removes any content the attorney doesn't like, even if it is truthful.

I along with several other people posted honest, detailed reviews about an attorney's unprofessional conduct. However, Avvo sanitized their entire profile leaving only 5-star review from 10 years ago.

Younsel.com publishes incorrect and unauthorized information

Younsel.com refuses to correct incorrect information on profiles. This company wants new users to submit official identification in order to claim a profile.

This company claims that by claiming a profile, it can be edited.

However even after claiming a profile, there is no edit capability. The company is a scam.

Won't post my review even when it meets their guidelines

Avvo is a company that selects the reviews it posts to protect their customers. Avvo refuses to post negative reviews on their paid clients.

When a lawyer is unethical, I posted a review and gave them all legal documents from the state bar of texas yet they refuse to post and now they have added my phone number to the " Don't answer " list. I call from my phone and there is no answer but immediately call from my wife's phone and they answer.

Now, both phones are on that list. Avvo is also a scam

Original review Feb 23, 2023

Posted several reviews on an unethical attorney, gave them state bar grievance and a letter from the state bar showing this attorney chose not to PARTICIPATE.

Review dispute

Posted a review on an attorney, sent all texas state bar documents showing factual events this attorney did. This attorney chose not to PARTICIPATE in the grievance and it was dismissed.

AVVO refused to post my review based on "you are accusing attorney of unethical or illegal activity with out proof " I responded to AVVO Customer care saying " I sent you all the proof and to please call or email with the reasons why. AVVO replied with generic response of no proof. I tried to call but no answer. AVVO only allows positive reviews to certain attorneys (who pay for premium packages) and not negative ones even though they have documented, official State Bar of Texas filed grievances.

What a joke this referral service is. I was able to post this same review on several other sites, including Justia, chamber of commerce, lawyer.com,yelp,martin dale-hubbel,Google lawyer ect.

Review dispute

Avvo only allows positive reviews on particular attorneys, even after sending AVVO state bar of Texas official documents, AVVO still says " NO PROOF" seuWhen an attorney pays for their "premium package", AVVO chooses what to post and what not to post. What a scam of a lawyer referral service.

To find an attorney for my brother, a federal inmate.

AVVO - To find an attorney for my brother, a federal inmate.

William Joseph Bishop is an inmate in El Reno, Oklahoma. In July of 2020 he had surgery due to the rolling plains detention center at Haskell county Texas neglecting his diet meals.

They fed him chicken and he is highly allergic. He has tried to find legal representation from the facility and has not had any luck. Haskell county refuses to give him his medical records. They would have to be requested by the lawyer.

They are more than likely in high hopes that he will run out of time which is approximately a week from today. He was unable to reach me until very recently and I am trying to help if I can.

To find an attorney for my brother, a federal inmate.

AVVO - To find an attorney for my brother, a federal inmate.

I attached the paper that explains what had happened. My concern is that he has been unable to get legal help and he finally contacted me to see if I could help.

He is going to have to have an extension filed before July 7th . Also Haskell Texas is not giving him his medical records. They would have to have a lawyer request them. They are probably in Great hopes that nobody will come forth to get them and time will run out.

This is because they messed up. I am appreciative of any help or advice about who to contact that accepts this type of lawsuit.

Am I searching for legal aid in the right place?

William Joseph Bishop is my brother, an inmate and El Reno Oklahoma. In July of 2020 the Rolling plains detention center in Haskell county Texas brought him what he thought and they had said was an all beef patty.

When his throat and neck swelled up they took him to the nurse that gave him the nepo shot and a 50 mg Benadryl. However this continued several more times and ultimately led him to have to have surgery on his stomach. William has, try as he might, to find help with representation through friends on the outside, as well as on his own.

He finally was able to make contact with me and I let him know I would try hard to find the right legal aide before the deadline which is only a short week from now and which will require requesting an extension on the case. I hope to hear back from somebody soon
