All lawyers do is manipulate words to their advantage. A good example, an intential deception via ommission is not a lie to a lawyer. Sure whatever you say. Here is another good reason why lawyer has become a 4-letter work, just look at the last sentence, "...if we *allow* rating systems...." Please, some lawyers plain stink and thanks for *allowing* us to exercise our right to say it. Why do all lawyers think they are so great? All lawyers do is manipulate words to their advantage.

However, I agree with a lot of your analysis though Carolyn...I don't see great differences between AVVO, Martindale-Hubble, Super Lawyers, Leading Lawyers, ect. I think they are all quite flawed and misleading. Good point Susan.

Martindale Hubbell puts in all lawyers. However, if you don't participate, they don't rank you. You are just listed. They contact you to participate, upgrade your information, etc. But if you don't want to you are not harmed. With AVVO, no choices and you are subjected to damaging calculations that are fatally flawed and will impact your business. If you don't believe it, how would you like to be listed as suspended...or non-existent then be compelled to update your information and charged when you don't choose to participate in the system yet you are not ranked or worse ranked to use with 'extreme caution.' Yes, one is being sued, hopefully into oblivion. Not every void has to be filled. You can look for meaninful disciplinary actions with any statewide grievance committe...they claim to want to shine a flashlight into those dark corners. Well the flashlight has been turned right back at them and it's not pretty. Carolyn,
