information the attorneys provide in their Avvo profiles. The public data used to calculate ratings includes information from bar associations, regulatory agencies, attorney websites and court records. This information, plus the material in the attorney-supplied profile, is then weighted by the Avvo mathematical model to arrive at a rating. All of the items used to calculate the rating are displayed on the attorney’s Avvo profile. However, Avvo does not disclose how the mathematical model works so that the system cannot be affected by efforts to “game” the system. This ensures that the rating process stays neutral and that all rated lawyers are treated equally. The Avvo Rating reflects the type of information and attorney recognition people find important when looking for an attorney. The Avvo rating uses a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest (Extreme Caution) and 10 being the highest (Superb). Read More>>
