I visted avvo yesterday just to see the rating given to a couple of lawyers I know. Too bad they don’t allow people who know the lawyer socially to rate them.
Lawyers have been rated for decades.
“Lawyers have been rated for decades.”
By who and please do show the evidence that support that this infromation has been easily available to the publice “for decades”

Do doctors not rate other doctors?
Doctor rating of other doctors does occur behind
“closed doors”.
