Lawyerratingz A defamation tool being exploited by compeditors California

This site constitutes the worst type of ripoff possible. Members of the public trying to inform themselves are misled into thinking that they are getting some unbiased consumer report on the services provided by lawyers - they are not.

Instead the lawyers involved in the site are using it as a tool to defame their competition. How do they do it:

 1. They put so-called reviews in about lawyers without advising the lawyer that there is a review about them. In other words they do nothing to find out if the so-called reviewer ever used the services of the lawyer in question;

2.  They remove, refuse to list or "loose" favourable reviews from lawyers they are competing with;

3.  They write their own favourable reviews;

4.   They pay for favourable reviews to be written about themselves.
