Avvo is an online resource for consumers looking for lawyers and legal resources.  Avvo has quickly become the most popular online legal destination for millions of users every month, beating out competitors like Lawyers.com, FindLaw and SuperLawyers in terms of both traffic and attorney listings.  Each attorney listed on Avvo is given a ranking based on a scale of 1 – 10.  This ranking is based on an algorithm which includes many factors.  Here is their official explanation:

Avvo rates and profiles every attorney, so that people can choose the right attorney. Lawyer profiles contain helpful information including a lawyer’s experience, areas of practice, disciplinary history, and ratings from clients. Profile data comes from many sources, including state courts and bar associations, lawyer websites, and information provided by lawyers.

Information meets guidance in the Avvo Rating—our effort to evaluate a lawyer’s background using a mathematical model that considers the information we know about a lawyer. This information is shown in the lawyer’s profile, including a lawyer’s years in practice, disciplinary history, professional achievements, and industry recognition—all factors that, in our opinion, are relevant to assessing a lawyer’s qualifications.
