Avvo

I have attempted several times to rate attorney Ledford White of Fort Worth, Texas? This attorney has over $4,000,000. In judgements on him from clients who have sued him in courts for cheating and stealing their money. I have sent to you the case numbers and the courts where he was found guilty of these frauds and you will not show my reviews on your AVVO web site. I am a former client of his. Why are you protecting him. Thanks, Mike Parks *******@gmail.com

I wrote a review of an attorney that was factual, true, and not at all a personal attack. It was up for a few days, then they told me that it was disputed by the attorney.
A representative of Avvo said that my review was fine and that they would post it. It was up for about 4 days and then they sent an email saying that my review didn't follow their guidelines. I read the rules, and in no way did my review break any of their rules.
I don't know for certain, but it seems that either an attorney complaining about a review is grounds to remove it, or perhaps compensation was proffered to have it removed.
I attached a photo showing my review that I had to jump through hoops just to get it to stay on there for a few days.

I met Travis S. Groves, Attorney at Law when I needed court appointed counsel. I qualified for it but didn't expect to get someone like him. Down right honest and straight to the point. This man will give you 100% and expects the same from you... Representing you is not the issue, representing you correctly is. He will do just that. I felt like he cared about the outcome and that he felt like he wasn't wasting his time. He kept me from being bullied by opposing attorney and his client(my ex-wife)who at the time felt they could just hold me in contempt for any reason. He gave me great understanding of what I was facing and the consequences of what could happen and protected me from foul play. He is a stand up Lawyer and well respected in the community. His office staff is as professional as it gets. Thank you Mr. Travis S. Groves.

Rip off agency. Delete negative reviews about attorney. I hired an attorney due to avvo review which were perfect. Attorney stole my money and did not do anything. I wrote that specific review at Avvo and got an email from Avvo saying they removed my review because it was not approved. Then i investigate in other websites and this particular lawyer has horrendous reviews on other websites. Don't trust Avvo. Don't trust Lawyer Rosemary Dettling.

I tried to find an attorney through Avvo. The lawyer made an early morning appointment with me and then stood me up and never contacted me to apologize. I lost work time to make that appointment. I posted this objective review, never personally characterized the attorney, made it clear this was our initial meeting. The review was approved and posted and later removed for "not following guidelines." My conclusion is that consumer reviews are not an honest reflection of the lawyers' ratings. Just for good measure the attorney that stood me up for an 8:00 am meeting was Peter Lennington of St. Paul, MN.

Protects lawyers. Won't post bad reviews. I gave them state bar grievance and won't post. Screens my calls now. I call from a different number and then they answer

Agree with all below: the reviews of the lawyers are not legit, they delete what is not useful for them. Because of misguidance with false reviews i had paid for consultation with the most unprofessional, rude and least helpful lawyer ever - Lyon Jemison. But my review has never been posted - he still has 5 star rating, although the most recent rating is from 2013! And i know other people who were unhappy with him, but were not allowed to post the review on avvo.com about him. Don't waste your time with these scammers!

1) AVVO provides a forum for your business to be anonymously trashed, and AVVO capitalizes on this by charging you a fee to help you deal with this. AVVO does not verify reviews. Their policy is: "All reviews on Avvo.com are the responsibility of the reviewers, and under 47 USC 230, Avvo, Inc. cannot be held liable for making Avvo.com available to the reviewers." 2) Reviews are titled "Posed by a client" and are not verified. Who's to say that this is an authentic person? 3) Their dispute process is a ruse.

I hired an attorney but he didn't do what he was supposed to do. I went online only to give him a review on Avvo so that other people would not wasted their money on this bad attorney. However, Avvo removed my review and they only let you post good review for the attorney on their website. I guess the attorneys paid them so that they will only let you post positive review for them. This is not a good platform for you to find an experiences and good attorney. STAY AWAY from this website!

This joke of a website, will only allow positive reviews of attorneys. Anything less than that. Regardless of wheather it's an honest, and true review or not.
They're not interested in being helpful to the public. Only kissing the rear end, of some of these sleazy, unethical lawyers.
Get off the web, you joke of a website.

Do not believe the reviews you read on Avvo. I hired attorney Jeff Jared for a family law case. He was extremely unprofessional and made mistakes and used bad judgement to land me in a worse outcome than if I went pro se.
He overbilled and overcharged me, all he and his legal assistant care about is taking your money. They don't care about your outcome. Avvo shows glowing reviews about Jeff Jared. Just months ago his reviews were 2 stars and honest client reviews about his terrible work. Now I only see 5 star reviews going back years ago, they are obviously fabricated. Avvo reviews are not to be trusted.
I filed a complaint with the Bar Assosiation against him. I hope to encourage others to do the same against fraudulent and dishonest attorneys. It's the only way to bring them down!
