Avvo Unsatisfactory Experience with Attorney Randall Bryson: A Review

I tried leaving a review about Randall Bryson on AVVO, but they refused to post it. I'll let you decide if they were right or wrong. I hired Bryson to help with my mother's estate after my brother Richard refused to settle it. Richard is a bit messed up - he's been dealing with drug addiction, eye injuries, sleep disorders, and even attempted suicide. He's got an attorney named John C. Urness who I think is just using Richard's disabilities to line his own pockets.

Anyway, I explained all of this to Bryson and he acted like he could help me out. He said he was friends with Urness and assured me he could get things sorted out. But after talking to Urness, Bryson turned on me and tried to blackmail me into removing negative comments I had posted about Urness online.

I was pretty upset about the whole thing, and I wanted to leave a review warning others about Bryson's behavior. But AVVO said no, it didn't meet their guidelines. They said I needed to make it clear that I was a client of Bryson's, plainly state what I liked or didn't like about his services, and avoid personal attacks or accusations.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what more I can say. I hired Bryson to help me with my mother's estate and he didn't deliver. Instead, he tried to strong-arm me into taking down negative comments about someone else. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone, and I hope others will steer clear of him as well.

Avvo My Frustrating Experience with Avvo and Their Review Process

I gotta say, I was pretty excited to come across Avvo in my search for a lawyer. I mean, who wouldn't be? The thought of a website where I can read real life reviews of lawyers outside of my usual resources sounded almost too good to be true. But alas, my experience with Avvo had me feeling a little let down.

See, I had hired a lawyer based on their glowing reviews on Avvo and ended up being pretty dissatisfied with their services. I didn't want to just keep it to myself, so I figured I'd share my experience on Avvo for others to see. Only problem? My review got rejected. Like, multiple times. Avvo kept telling me that it didn't comply with their "fairness policy" and I just couldn't figure out what they meant. I mean, I was careful not to give my personal opinion on the lawyer's performance, I just stuck to the facts. But apparently, even the facts weren't enough.

After a bunch of frustrating attempts to get my review approved, I finally decided to reach out to Avvo support and see what I was doing wrong. Lo and behold, after a week or so, I got a response saying that they had messed up and actually rejected my review in error. They apologized and said they'd post it, which they eventually did. And all was well... or so I thought.

Fast forward a few months and I decide to give Avvo another try. This time, I thought I'd look up some reviews for another lawyer I was considering. And wouldn't you know it, the guy has like 50 positive reviews, all of them at least 4 stars. Except for one... mine, of course. And wouldn't you know it, my review was nowhere to be found. It's like it never even existed.

So yeah, I can't help but feel like Avvo might be a little too focused on keeping their "paid advertisement" lawyers looking good. I mean, if they're willing to reject reviews that aren't even giving personal opinions, how can we trust that the other reviews are accurate? I don't know, maybe I'm just being cynical. But either way, I wouldn't rely too heavily on Avvo if you're really looking for the truth.

Avvo Avvo: Bottom of the Barrel Attorneys?" - A Review of Avvo's Legal Service

Avvo seems like a decent idea on the surface. But when you really think about it - if an attorney has time to be scrolling through the internet looking for clients, how good can they really be? Let me tell you about a situation I had on a Friday night. I needed help with my consumer rights and credit reporting agencies control under the FCRA. I got a response back from an attorney right away, but he was rude and didn't seem to understand basic finance. When I looked him up, I found out he specializes in defending DUI's! Needless to say, I gave him a bad review because he was condescending and it seemed like he just wanted to see himself post.

Luckily, I found a retired attorney who specialized in FCRA. He gave me the email and phone number for the key executive of the CRA, and within 10 minutes my problem was resolved. No muss, no fuss, no abusive language. When I tried to delete my question from Avvo, I found out that they don't allow it. Then, another attorney, who deals with bankruptcies in a completely different part of the country, joined in on the belittling of my question.

It just seems like the attorneys on Avvo are the bottom of the barrel and only take on light cases. I can't help but wonder if the number of questions they answer and the fact that only positive reviews are allowed works with the ranking algorithm. Why are attorneys who don't even specialize in the field where the question lies able to answer and rank higher?

It's like asking a psychiatrist to conduct open heart surgery. They're both doctors, but they can't do the same thing. Overall, I don't think I would use Avvo again, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Avvo Beware of Avvo's Unfair and Biased System for Lawyer Reviews

Avvo website really sucks! Their system ain't objective at all! I had a hell of a time trying to get Avvo to publish my negative review about my past lawyer. They just kept rejecting my review time after time. After mucho back and forth between me, Avvo, and some wannabe investigator, they finally decided to post a jacked up version of my review, after much delay, claiming to me that their team messed up. Then, hold the phone, as soon as my review went live, it was like they rang up my past lawyer to say, "Hey dude, this guy's talking about you!" That lawyer then went on a tear and posted a super false and highly slanderous response about me. And, wait for it, Avvo went and let that response hit the web but told me I couldn't retaliate or say anything in response. What a bunch of baloney! I had to suck it up and stew in my own juices. These so-called professionals are rigged in favor of their own kind and I don't know why someone in authority ain't stepped up to probe into their dealings. Avvo takes dough from lawyers and dimes reviewers. They let the lawyers write loads of bunk, but don't give reviewers the same break. That doesn't even make sense! Whoever made Avvo wasn't thinking too hard because they're really screwing over people who want to make important decisions. I went to that site back in the day to pick out a lawyer and ended up with a major crap shoot because the guy I chose was one of the dregs, despite his 9.4 rating they gave him, along with a handful of positive reviews and zilch negative ones. Avvo is a lousy waste-of-time, just avoid it.

Avvo Avvo's Legal Ratings are Worthless: An Insider's Review of Shady Business Practices

I'm a lawyer who's been out of the game for a few years - taking care of family and doing some consulting work. Recently, I stumbled upon Avvo while checking out my name online and boy oh boy was I surprised by what I saw!

Apparently, they had given me a middling review of my legal career, but I'm left wondering - based on what? They never contacted me for any information, they didn't ask me about the consulting work I did for the past 7 years and there are NO client reviews or grievances filed against me. So, what gives? It seems like their ratings are completely worthless.

But wait, it gets even worse! According to Avvo, the only way to improve your rating is to join their "Premium Services" and pay a monthly fee! That's straight up extortion if you ask me. And that's not even the end of it.

Rumors are swirling that some lawyers are giving each other great reviews in exchange for the same. I mean, come on - even the best lawyer I know doesn't have PERFECT reviews from all of their clients and colleagues. This kind of situation can potentially misdirect and harm clients in need of solid legal counsel.

And if you're not interested in paying them off, then your only option is to request that they don't show your rating. But guess what? They publicly present your request to hide their ratings of you - with the clear implication that you must be hiding something negative. In my book, that's nothing short of a shake down and it's completely unacceptable.

I hope others in the legal community will see this review and steer clear of Avvo. It's just another example of shady business practices that seem to be becoming all too common. Stay safe out there, folks!

Avvo Avvo Review: Attorney Threatened Me After Negative Feedback on Personal Injury Case

Avvo helped me express my dissatisfaction with an attorney in two short sentences. This particular lawyer did not provide good communication and it was evident that they did not care about my personal injury case. Instead, they wasted time and resources threatening me with the legal system because of my review.

It's important to understand that not all attorneys are created equal, and some simply do not possess the required skills to adequately help clients. It's tough to swallow when you've been let down, but criticism provides useful feedback that can help us grow.

Unfortunately, rather than listen to my criticism, this attorney attempted to intimidate me by sending a "goon" to my home and even went so far as to slip an email under my kitchen door while I was out of the country. It's demeaning to think that someone would forge my signature and imply that I was okay with them raking in more money from my case than I was receiving myself.

As someone who faces ongoing medical expenses due to an auto accident caused by a drunk driver, I was not happy with either of the attorneys who worked with me on my case. Connecticut is a state that is known for its shady dealings and corruption. The lies, corruption, and threats are all a part of the game that is played in this state, simply because citizens are not kissing up to these so-called "professionals."

Even though my first review was denied, Avvo should have left it alone. They did eventually email me back to tell me that the attorney was just bluffing and that they had a pro bono attorney on staff who could help me out. However, I never heard back from them again.

All in all, I appreciate Avvo for allowing me to express my opinions, even if they were negative. Every attorney can learn from criticism, and hopefully, the ones who are willing to listen are the ones that will succeed.

Avvo Avvo is bias and cherry picks reviews

i hired an attorney to negotiate an EEOC determination in my favor against a very large company. this attorney Andrew Dansicker had good reviews on Avvo but after hiring him, he threw me under the bus for a quick buck. i obtained all the attorney communications with the company, and found not only did this attorney lie to me, he never addressed the validity of the EEOC determination that the company retaliated against me and as well wrongfully discharged me due to denying me a reasonable medical accommodation. the company even breached the agreement i was tricked into accepting due to the attorney stating in writing i had nothing to worry about when i questioned several things. the attorney took the side of the company numerous times, and to date i am out thousands of dollars per the agreement that was breached and this attorney will not do anything. i have all the emails and documents proving what i have just stated, and as well have referred this attorney Andrew Dansicker to the Bar for violating ethics and possible legal malpractice.

when writing a review on Avvo with facts, they denied my first one stating i did not hire this attorney, even though the correct box was checked. i wrote a second review and it was denied stating i violated their community guidelines, with nothing specific, and after checking there is nothing i violated. i wrote a third review and it was denied stating i didn't give facts. AVVO is bias, dangerous because it's obvious reviews are cherry picked.

Desired outcome: i would like my reviews posted i would also like Avvo to admit they are sorry for cherry picking and denying my review /s

Avvo Review of lawyers

I tried to post a review of the lawyer that is the opposing counsel for a law suit. I find it censorship that is corporation ONLY Excepts reviews if the attorney is a client. This attorney has knowingly summited paper work to a judge with lies and half truths but I am being barred by this "review" of the attorney because I am not the client. IT appears that the Attorney has a 5 star rating but she is shielded from people telling the TRUTH because the people she represents are the recreants of her behavior and it looks like she is a great person, Absolute power corrupts absolutely, Freedom of Speech is one of this nations greatest liberties . Once you censor a review it not a review.

Desired outcome: Print ALL REVIEWS OF LAWYERS

Avvo junk

What they do is unfair at least.
I worked with a lawyer who was a piece of crap, didn't do his job properly, but was very professional in taking my money as fast as possible.
I wrote a negative review about him on Avvo. Do you know what they did?
They sent it to him to get his confirmation that he has nothing against my review. Of course, he said that he's against it and doesn't want it to be posted. So they didn't.
Is it normal? Do they post only good reviews or what?
So if you see negative reviews, it means that this lawyer who verified them is an honest person and isn't afraid to ruin his/her reputation.

Avvo Worst ever

You know, sometimes it's better to talk to a wall than trying to explain to these guys what you want. Not emphatiс at all, they don't even try to consider your problem, don't try to understand it in details. I think they don't deserve to be called lawyers or whatever else they are.
I have never met "professionals" like them and I regret I paid for dealing with this company.
Don't use them if you really want to resolve your issue as soon as possible. Having their reputation I would just close my business.

Avvo Useless to me. And expensive

I think their service is kinda useless.
yesterday night I published my question. After several minutes I got answers from a couple of attorney stating that they are busy right now, I have to wait till the morning.
Hmmmm ok, no problem. Strange, that they actually wrote it. In the morning I got one more email stating that I received two complete answers, but before reading them I will have to pay 70 dollars.
I was like what? Isn't it too much?
Sorry, but looks like it's a ripoff.

Avvo Good for nothing.

About a year ago I graduated from University and recently I opened a small company. I was a new lawyer and needed some clients, so I went online and found www.avvo.com. They said that their website is very popular and that they can help me with my problem. So I subscribed for three months and waited. Three months passed and I got zero clients! I wasted my money and got nothing. I asked for a refund, because they did not provide the service they promised, but they refused to give me my money back. This site is useless.

Avvo Attorney Aaron James Irving

Why you should never hire Attorney Aaron Irving!
He does not even research statues or case law before advising clients and gives erroneous advice to people.

Avvo Terry-Adam-Houston

Terry Adam, 14525 Fm 529 Road, # 101, 77095, violated attorney client privilege when he openly discussed confidential information with a cop. Attorneys of all people should know everything between an attorney/client stays between the client and attorney. As a client paid Terry Adam, 14525 Fm 529 Road, # 101, 77095, money to do simple work that never got done, then Terry Adam should have simply refunded the money. Terry Adam never refunded the money and when investigated provided falsified information to cover his tracks. To add insult to injury Texas attorney Terry Adam did not refund the money he took from his client. A big price to pay for a $120.

Avvo AVVO

ARK BRITTON Avvo at, is a joke as a "lawyer." Avvo says this about him "Mark is a 16 year lawyer with deep experience in the legal industry." Total crock of horse manure. He has represented ZERO cases in court. He figured out a way to get rich by ruining other lawyers and doctors. His company got $ 20 million in funding! On the other hand, he sits there on a throne -- see www.avvowatch.com, with his D.. in his hands, watching his website humiliating doctors, interfere with their normal business relations and has designed a machine that slaughters doctors' and lawyers' reputations online, all day, every day. Congress should act on this. Totally not a first amendment right.

In a recent article, Clio's web site states unabashedly:

"Our last guest for Legal Industry Transformation Week is someone who has literally shaped the legal industry: Mark Britton, Founder and former CEO of Avvo. A unique mix of startup founder, public company executive, lawyer, and SEC regulator, Mark possesses valuable insights into the legal profession’s challenges in the present—and its opportunities for the future."

That extravagant statement is true. Mark Britton -- a man whose career as a law student and as a practicing lawyer is undistinguished -- has propelled himself into the rarified atmosphere of the upper stratosphere of the legal profession.

Mark Britton has given lawyers what they want most: Instant Gratification. Lawyers who love to hear the sound of their own names gravitate to the Avvo business model.

Mark Britton has perfected the art of smearing a man's name (placing an indelible stain on disciplined lawyers for life even for minor transgressions); has given lawyers a paradigm for credential kiting; and has created a lawyers' ranking system based on a stream of laudatory e-mails (sent effortlessly from the member-lawyers' fan club to the Avvo server).

Physicians, by contrast, enter a residency program (three to five years of hard work and financial sacrifice) in order to build or enhance their skills and reputation. The residency is long hours and hard work with legitimate peer review sessions from experienced senior doctors whose reviews are both brutal and thorough. At the end of the residency, the physician under goes testing and final evaluation. These residency programs are demanding and ultimately rewarding. Lawyers build and enhance their reputations with an Avvo score based on superficial emails from 'satisfied customers' and fellow practitioners. In making this bargain with Avvo, the legal profession has demonstrated its willingness to dumb down its standards of scholarship and water down its ethical standards.

If you are a lawyer who received a reprimand, they are coming for you.

If you don't want or don't appreciate your Avvo page, Mark Britton and his team Avvo will wrap it around your neck. If you don't want or don't appreciate your Avvo page, Mark Britton and his team Avvo will shove it down your throat.

They are coming for you. If you apply for a new job, your prospective employer will Google your name and find your Avvo page instantaneously. If you change doctors, your new doctor's office will Google your name and find your Avvo page instantaneously. If you apply to a new land lord for a new rental unit, they will Google your name and find your Avvo page instantaneously. They are coming for you.

Mark Britton is the legal profession, and you will carry the stench of his dishonesty in your nostrils for the rest of your life. Welcome to Avvo!

Avvo.com damages the reputations of lawyers who have discipline by making a spectacle of their discipline. Avvo rips off the scab and keeps the wound open. Redemption is not possible if there is no healing, and Avvo makes no allowance for healing. Avvo makes no effort to contact the disciplined lawyer to ask for his or her explanation of the disciplinary sanction and makes no effort to evaluate whether the disciplined lawyer is a threat to the public. Avvo makes no allowance for the passage of time. Avvo has determined that all disciplinees should be tarred with the same brush (offering only a superficial definition and distinction of the bar association's sanction) whether the discipline was published yesterday or fifty years ago. The Avvo stain is permanent - thanks to the efficiency of Google search it remains like a huge festering cancerous sore on your face for the totality of your life.

All lawyers' web pages on the Avvo site start with the invitation: "Claim Your Page." Once you have "claimed your page", you have given implied consent to abide by Avvo's agenda, terms and conditions. Whether you like it or not, Avvo has published an Avvo page about you on the Avvo web site. If you don't want to have an Avvo page with your name on it, Avvo callously wraps it around your neck - like it or not! If you "claim your page" and subsequently find an unfavorable review, you can dispute the bad review. Avvo does not remove bad reviews, but they do publish your rebuttal. You cannot, however, challenge or dispute the fact that your Avvo page exists; once you have "claimed your page" you have surrendered to Avvo. After all, Avvo's ability to sell advertising space would be diminished if lawyers started to drop out of the Avvo universe. Avvo and its shareholders are getting rich collecting, counting and displaying the souls of damaged lawyers - like misers counting pieces of silver.

Sincerely,
Gary Wolfstone

Avvo.com sadly now has more influence over the legal profession than all of the 50 state bar associations combined.
Lawyers who participate in Avvo.com have demonstrated their willingness to dumb down their standards of
scholarship and to water down their ethical standards. Thanks to Mark Britton, Avvo.com's founder and former CEO,
Avvo.com rewards cruelty and degrades nobility. Avvo.com builds lawyers' ratings and reputations based on instant gratification.
One of the last messages sent by the Titanic marconi room (Jack Phillips at the key): "S.O.S. cqd, We are sinking

Avvo.com offers "instant gratification" to lawyers who want to boost or improve their reputation. If a lawyer asks his clients and colleagues to write laudatory emails to Avvo.com about the lawyer's performance, then his Avvo score goes up: click, click, click! Thus, by posturing and gimmickry, the lawyer creates the illusion of competency and greatness. On the other hand, when a doctor wants to improve his reputation for competency, he enters a "residency" which may involve three or four years of long hours of hard work, study, financial sacrifice, and constant "peer review" by a panel of experienced physicians who have no reluctance to offer constructive criticism. An artificially inflated Avvo score is a slur on the legal profession! Thank you Mark Britton, Avvo founder and former CEO -- thanks for nothing!

Thank you for agreeing with our critique of Avvo. When Jesus went in to the Temple and tipped over the tables of the money changers, he shouted, "Your Temple is a House of Desolation!" Accordingly, we are shouting at Avvo, "Your website is a House of Desolation!" Avvo rewards Cruelty and degrades Nobility ~ these are the two prohibitions from Greek Philosophers who define the boundaries of creative writing. For Mark Britton and for Avvo, there are no boundaries. Thus, we expose Mark Britton and Avvo for transforming the American legal profession into a three ring circus. Mark Britton is getting rich with his lawyer-bashing enterprise. Mr. Britton says he is shining his flashlight into dark places; however, Mr. Britton needs to shine his flashlight into his own face and stand in front of a mirror. Thus, my biography of Mark Britton ends with the admonition ~ "This is your Hour, Mark Britton, the Hour of Shadows."

Mark Britton saves his reputation by making all the [redacted]s about him disappear (google "Mark Britton [redacted]s." So Gary Wolfstone and avvowatch.com are absolutely on point when they say that his a hypocrite. Saving his reputation by somehow figuring out how to hide negative reports about him on Google, but daily humiliating lawyers and doctors by "rating" them and allowing anonymous postings on his multi-million dollar reputation-slaughtering machine, Avvo.com.
