Comment on Did I Mention How Much I Hate Avvo.com? (or, Avvo Sucks) by T.C. Johnston

One: I couldn’t show any damage. Two: I don’t see a cause of action that would pass the laugh test (defamation by algorithm?). Three: Lawsuits are a nightmare when you’re a party, and should only be a last resort. And being annoyed is not a good reason to sue. Being substantially harmed by someone’s actionable behavior may be, but I have neither of those. So, I have to be content to vent on this one.

I got a shakedown letter from an attorney in New York. I submitted a press release. I’ve talked to him and he threatened a lawsuit but so far nothing. I understand there is a group trying to file a class action suit against the instigator of this shakedown, but I don’t know for sure.
