Brand New Legal Search Site Gets Sued

June 19, 2007

Well, this didn’t take long. Avvo didn’t even get to make it out of beta (they launched June 5) before a class action was slapped on them (PDF).

It was only nine days ago when I was wondering if Avvo would make a good fit with the “Super Lawyers” model.

I’m hoping the case gets tossed, mostly because it reminds me of businesses suing Google because their Web site doesn’t “rank” high in the free listings.

There’s quite the discussion about the lawsuit at the Avvo Blog.
