Kevin, Amazon is not alone in recognizing the need for ratings of professional services. Our own company, Ratingz Inc, was formed to build on the market success of RateMyProfessors.com, and extend our rating system for all sorts of services. One of our first sites is http://www.lawyerratingz.com

LawyerRatingz.com is a farce - they are actively censoring valid ratings - don't bother to post there if you really want to rate a lawyer.

Lawyerratings isn't bad, but I use FatLaw. I think it gives a lot more information, and has more Attorneys listed. The ratings seem to be more open and sometimes brutaly honest, plus they show you the Attorneys address, website and phone. You can look at it here: http://fatlaw.us and see what you think

This site is an absolute sham and so are its owners. The owners remove and insert at whim. There is no fairness, no plan, just whoever pays them the most money. They are being investigated for pay off's and unfair dealings. The owners could not get a job until they started LAWYERRATINGZ.

U.S.A.(address for lawsuits)
, This site should be sued. THE ADDRESS ABOVE IS THE CALIFORNIA ADDRESS FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS OF RATINGZ, INC. File C2721780, filed 2-10-05. That is the master company of lawyerratingz.com
The two (2) owners were failures in school and started the site. Could not follow rules then and cannot follow them now. Waiting for a huge lawsuit to hit, but I am sure these 2 will do a bankruptcy to avoid payment of creditors. The owners take off the screen name of repeat posters to prevent the public from seeing that the same person is posting a rating about a doctor, lawyer, or real estate broker over and over. SITE DOES NOT VERIFY, UNFAIRLY TARGETING SMALL BUSINESSES AND WOMEN AND REMOVES RATINGS OF SOME AND ADDS TO OTHERS. No proof that the person was ever a patient of a doctor or client of a lawyer. The poster could be a nutty neighbor or an adverse party. WHAT A JOKE! SITE GIVES NUTS, DEADBEATS, AND THE UNEMPLOYED who have nothing to do with their time, their 30 seconds of fame. Boo! GIVES PUBLICITY TO THE CORRUPT.

State bar associations should find a way to shut down lawyer rating sites. In litigation, there is always one disgruntled party who would love to hurt the opposing attorney - this is especially true in family law matters. Without a mechanism to check whether someone is a client, or whether the person has posted more than one comment under multiple profiles (perhaps a single client who owes a large bill), the sites are an invitation to slander and of no benefit to the public.
