One thing to keep in mind is that, when Avvo launches in a new state, we start with a large selection of consumer-focused lawyers (e.g., those that practice in areas like divorce, personal injury, etc.) to ensure we are immediately helping where it is needed most. The number of rich profiles we offer only increases from there.<BR/><BR/>At Avvo, our mission is to give consumers a better place to start than the Yellow Pages or search engines. Accordingly, the way to road test Avvo immediately after our Minnesota launch is to search for, say, personal injury lawyers in Minneapolis (here are those search results by the way: http://www.avvo.com/search/lawyer_search?q=personal+injury&loc=minneapolis). Then attempt the same task in the Yellow Pages or Google. Ask yourself, “If I were a consumer, which of these tools would help me make the best choice regarding which lawyer(s) I should interview?” At that point, you will weep at Avvo’s superiority :-) . . . and we will only continue to improve with each day we are in Minnesota.<BR/><BR/>We are honored to be in the North Star State.<BR/><BR/>Mark Britton<BR/>CEO, Avvo<BR/>www.avvo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
