I also used to use and visit the lawyerratingz website, however, I noticed that lawyers, who I know rip off their clients, had outstanding ratings i.e. 5/5 rating which is not realistic.
The same lawyers originally had many negative ratings which were constructive, realistic, and more reliable feedback from clients, however, the staff at lawyerratingz removed the majority or all of the negative ratings received for these lawyers and the extremely positive ratings remained. I had seen this happen. One day you would see three negative ratings for a lawyer then it disappeared and three extremely positive ratings appeared for the same lawyer and all were posted on the same day.
The false outstanding ratings for these particular lawyers look like they were written by the lawyers themselves, their family members or friends because a REAL CLIENT wouldn't write down a list of the lawyer's accomplishments etc.... but about their experiences. Also, the extremely positive ratings were posted in multiples (2 or 3 at a time) all on the SAME DAY. Suspicious....Yes. Flagged......No. Those ratings remained and the negative ratings were removed.
Therefore I would not recommend the lawyerratingz website because it is a unreliable resource. They are misleading the public by giving the impression of false positive ratings for these lawyers.
