Choosing the right lawyer used to be a very difficult task for the common client. There was simply no way to find out about a lawyers background, credentials, and track record. Avvo.com is a website that tries to bridge that gap by providing potential clients with information about an attorney's background, history, experience, and industry recognition. So let's say a potential client is looking for you. They can see your history, any prior cases you may have posted, client reviews, and peer endorsements- if you have this information. In many cases, if your profile doesn't have enough information, then potential client will look for someone else who has the desired information.

Here are some quick Avvo facts:

Avvo Ratings Help Build Trust

Avvo has a system that assigns a rating to your profile based on the information in the profile. This rating has a impact on potential clients and helps them determine who they want to contact. We have worked on Avvo profiles for a number of lawyers and on average they have seen a 40% increase in their score.
