Based on AVVO data - or the lack thereof, I hired what turned out to be the most flakey attorney - too sad to even explore here. Advocacy was definitely for self rather than client. Tried to leave a honest review of the bizarre and unprofessional behavior patterns without opening the door for a lawsuit - since lawyers love to sue, regardless of the veracity of a claim. AVVO helps them by refusing the review. And, the website appears to advise the attorney. I keep getting emails - none of which I open - from this attorney. They are timed with the AVVO emails. She probably thinks this is a game and that she is 'winning'. But, in fact, the loss is all hers. I only lost money, not my mind. AVVO is useless for the consumer. I would imagine other similar reviews were likely rejected - ones that would have prevented me from hiring her. But, this is the extent of time and effort I am going to expend. I tried to warn people. I have wasted enough time on this miscreant. That is sad, but true.
