Products, docs, and other professional services are rated by a variety of web-based services, so why would anyone object to a web site dedicated to rating lawyers?&lt;br /&gt;A lawsuit against a lawyer rating site, &lt;a href="http://www.avvo.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Avvo.com&lt;/a&gt;, has recently been dismissed (see &lt;a href="http://www.avvo.com/about_avvo/press_detail?article_key=us_district_court_dismisses_case_against_avvo" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and order &lt;a href="http://avvoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/order-granting-defendants_-motion-to-dismiss-dec-18-2007.PDF" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).  It seems that two attorneys were not enthusiastic about their ratings and sued the site.  They lost.  The Avvo lawyer comments:&lt;br /&gt;This is a huge win for our First Amendment rights to express our opinions as Americans…Keep in mind that this case was initiated by a sanctioned attorney that did not like having his recent misconduct brought to light.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1121451157653604164-4467913908559621437?l=lawcompanies.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lawcompanies.blogspot.com/feeds/4467913908559621437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1121451157653604164&amp;postID=4467913908559621437' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1121451157653604164/posts/default/4467913908559621437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1121451157653604164/posts/default/4467913908559621437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lawcompanies.blogspot.com/2008/03/rating-lawyers-is-ok.html' title='Rating Lawyers is OK'/><author><name>Florist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10347473391351286486</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121451157653604164.post-8089973084247537290</id><published>2008-03-28T11:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-30T17:26:01.695-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Recent Books</title><content type='html'>Recent Books:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0374292884/1n9867a-20" target="_blank"&gt;Thomas L.
