AvvoReviews 417

I wrote a review about an Attorney ( Lauren Dowley) and they did not accept it. No swears etc. Just a true review of this lawyer who was totally incompetent!. And Avvo also blocked me from their site when I tried to re write my review. Not right... I will let everyone know about it... Yelp had a true review of Lauren Dowley... type in dowley & mulvena, pc medford, ma on Yelp, and read the Truth about this law firm. Stay away, form them and Avvo... Avvo is a total joke. Only accepts positive reviews. Lol Not kidding of course

I met Travis S. Groves, Attorney at Law when I needed court appointed counsel. I qualified for it but didn't expect to get someone like him. Down right honest and straight to the point. This man will give you 100% and expects the same from you... Representing you is not the issue, representing you correctly is. He will do just that. I felt like he cared about the outcome and that he felt like he wasn't wasting his time. He kept me from being bullied by opposing attorney and his client(my ex-wife)who at the time felt they could just hold me in contempt for any reason. He gave me great understanding of what I was facing and the consequences of what could happen and protected me from foul play. He is a stand up Lawyer and well respected in the community. His office staff is as professional as it gets. Thank you Mr. Travis S. Groves.

Phyllis Norman and her staff are the absolute best. This was my first experience in needing legal representation but, not the first attorney I selected. I was involved in a serious auto accident in 2015 in Kansas City and I live in Orlando. So not only did I not know of an attorney in Orlando, I certainly did not know of one in Kansas City. I did not realize that since the accident took place in Kansas that I would have to retain an attorney from Kansas either. My first selection was a terrible experience so I reached out to family in Kansas and asked if they could recommend someone. Thank God I did because that is how I found Phyllis. Phyllis walked be through the entire mess and what a mess it was! Both Florida and Kansas are No Fault states and that was the easy part. As Phyllis and her staff walked me though the legal process they also assisted me with understanding of medical treatments that were being suggested by doctors(not all good recommendations). Phyllis was also EXTREMELY helpful with the surgeons that were not willing to see me without a LOP. I had no idea what a LOP was or why they were not willing to accept my health insurance. So she walked me through each and every step and never grew weary of my questions and confusion. Phyllis is very professional, but she is equally as personable at what she does for her clients. Due to Phyllis and her outstanding help I had a successful surgery in January. I honestly can say that without Phyllis and her staff I do not think that my outcome would be what it is or that I would have the quality of life I do each and everyday.

THANK YOU Phyllis Norman, on a scale of 1 to 10, she gets a 15!

Used a few attorneys checked ratings on avvo., Thought we had hired some good attorney unfortunately this was the truth:
1.) rating of 10 was addicted to drugs now in jail, 2.) rating of 7-8 was not trustworthy and worse. 3.) rating 7 went to rehab for alcoholism, all during my cases.

I think the ratings on AVVO and likewise are pumped up by friends and other lawyers. What you see is not what you get. One lawyer within a few months of being hired asked us to put a review on Avvo. Attorney hadn't even done anything at that time.

Yes, let's get this out. AVVO is a scam. I just checked on an atty I wanted to give the innocent people looking for a GOOD atty, some heads up on. I mean obviously blatantly a scammer and the review wasn't there but I saw it in my review lists and it said it was denied. I checked this attys reviews on his page, get this, after MANY years on AVVO he only had like 7 reviews. Some I saw before were removed. ALL were 5 star. You're all right. AVVO does not post true reviews. When I "googled" AVVO is a scam, something came up on how they fight the ones that leave "bad reviews". Not worth posting true reviews there AND the worst scammer attorney in the world could be made to look like the most diligent and helpful attorney. VERY dissapointing that AVVO is a scam but very GOOD to know.

Avvo is a scam it is not possible to rate "Kevin Sean Sullivan" "The law offices of Kevin Shawn Sullivan, LLC" so here it is. Do not waste your precious time energy and money on a worthless lying piece of $#*! attorney. Used him only once in my life and it was like he used me. Untrustworthy terrible attitude uncooperative he lives at 33 High St Chelmsford, MA and does scandalous business at 9 Fletcher Street Chelmsford Massachusetts *******.

Do your own due diligence with this guy & then do not hire him Kathleen O'Donnell would be a way better pick.

This pacemaker idiot should have stayed in the pool - idiot!

Copy post paste this in all of your social media throughout the web if you feel like helping other people not get screwed.

I wrote a negative review on this attorney, it was intelligent and very truthful. Avvo approved it and then it was taken off a few weeks later. Matter of fact all of his negative reviews were removed. DO NOT trust this site! I believe they get paid by attorneys to only post positive reviews. This site is a sham. If you are looking for a probate attorney DO Not use Mark Perryman, he is all about the money and will lose your case. His lack of skill and knowledge caused me to lose my mothers estate.

Avvo, as everybody else said, does not allow for negative ratings. I wrote a negative rating for a layer, factual and clear. She had another 6 (SIX) negative ratings, and only one positive. One and a half year later (yes, you read that correctly, year, not day) my review was removed because, they said, it violated their guidelines. I go to the Avvo site, and all the 6 negative reviews are gone, and I find 10 new ones, they all have 5 stars. Apparently, the lawyer asked Avvo to remove all the negative reviews. Avvo is a joke and a dishonest site that cannot be trusted and used in any way.

My attorney only had 5 star reviews, my experience so far is 1 star All the reviews boasted on how great she was keeping you updated and explaining everything. NOPE she does the total opposite! Getting a divorce is hard but she makes is so much harder and worrisome. :( I will try to post a review again when this crap is over, it the avvo site lets me. I recommend people to also find other sites to review their experience.

I have attempted several times to submit a negative review of an attorney who was liable for legal malpractice. The review was always rejected for vague reasons. I asked the site for specific reasons for the rejection so that I could amend the review, but I never received a response. The attorney, Joseph H Chivers, has several performance complaints against him on other websites, but he has absolutely none on Avvo. He had some negative performance reviews at one time, but these all vanished after he complained to the site. Obviously, these people serve as a shill for the legal profession.
