NOLO basically pushes the limit of what attorneys will pay for advertising to make sure it barely pays out - I'm not sure it does even then with the time and effort it takes to actually call on the terrible leads we get. There are just enough valid leads that it makes sense for us to keep purchasing them but they are by far the winners in this scenario. Really getting tired of it. We are still customers but I don't recommend this company at all.

Avvo wants attorneys to PAY them for "advertising" and directory listings, however at the very same time, they allow anonymous reviews with no recourse. As has been proven time and time again, the vast majority of negative reviews are either from competitors or disgruntled ex-employees. It's amazing to me that attorneys continue to pay this company when they do such a complete disservice to the industry. The proper place for consumer complaints is each individual bar association. Shameful and unethical.
