There are truly No Words to express how my Attorney Jerry Bodow has been a true blessing in my life. Jerry an his staff have been family to me and have looked out for me throughout a 7+ year case. They have worked tirelessly hard for me and my family. The support, friendship and love they have shown words can't describe enough. Jerry I am blessed to have you as my attorney and friend. Thank you for all your expertise, friendship and love.
AVVO is scam not honest company at all. I had bad experience with some scam attorney and tried twice but nothing.
Yeah, I hear all of you complaining and they're all legitimate complaints. AVVO isn't a good place to hire an attorney but it is a really good place to get some good, free legal advice. Over the years I've asked a LOT of questions and the answers usually are very helpful. I, too, made a mistake and hired an attorney from the ratings and got royally burned. Yvette Banker from Arizona, usually does probate, guardianship, conservatorship. She did the old 'bait and switch' where she said only $500 retainer until I signed the contract and all of a sudden, the case was "very complicated and (she) needs another $2500 immediately." Even though I kept telling her I needed to make the case go away, get it dismissed, she kept saying "private fiduciary." I finally got nasty and told her she was to do what I tell her. She continued to screw the case up so I fired her before we even got to court. Arizona adult guardianship court and court appointed lawyers are predators personafied. They are only in it to take the person's estate away and line their own pockets. Two other AVVO attorneys to avoid is Joseph Boyle and Shad Blackford. Imagine why they would be putting a 91 year old through hell just so they can steal the person's estate! They are real bastards!
I'm surprised at the number of negative reviews from both potential clients and attorneys. I have used Avvo on numerous occasions to research legal issues which have come to light. For that I am thankful. I also research state law, etc concerning my issues. Because I am researching, I do feel Avvo is helpful. Yes, some attorney responses (Definitely not All) are assumptive and disrespectful. But I believe that is indicative of the Hubris which surrounds the Legal industry. There is always an area to respond to their comments.
That being said, I, as a potential client, do benefit from Avvo-as the responses help me to interpret the law- or opinion of the law. However, as an Attorney enlisting Avvo services, if I did not receive clients initiated by Avvo, I would be concerned. If an Attorney is not receiving clients, it could be due to rudeness. It also could be due to people, like me, who cannot afford more than the free consultation, and are trying to determine if they have any legal premise to spend discretionary income on a proposed injustice (of which there are many, enforceable if you have money)
I think the issue is, to whom does Avvo want to market?
