About Avvo

Avvo is a free website that helps consumers handle their legal matters. To do this, Avvo rates and profiles every lawyer and also offers client reviews, lawyer disciplinary histories and peer endorsements. Avvo also helps consumers understand their often complex and confusing legal situations by offering a question and answer forum called “Avvo Answers” and other interesting information regarding various legal topics.

Lawyer Search: Avvo allows users to input a geographic location and/or legal subject. Avvo then searches its database for lawyers that have the best chance of getting the user the help they need. These search results are driven by the Avvo Rating, client ratings and other factors.

Avvo Answers: Avvo allows users to ask real attorneys specific legal questions – anonymously if desired. They can receive a personalized answer to their question, with a link to the attorney’s background information. Attorneys also receive points for the quantity and quality of answers they offer in Avvo Answers.
