Even More on 'Best Attorneys'

By Robert J. Ambrogi

Remember <a href="http://www.bestattorneysonline.com/">BestAttorneysOnline.com</a>, the site that describes itself as "an independent authority on the best attorneys at law." As I wrote about it <a href="http://www.legaline.com/2010/03/beware-new-best-attorneys-site.html">on March 4</a> and again <a href="http://www.legaline.com/2010/03/more-on-dubious-best-attorneys-site.html">on March 5</a>, the site says it uses an "experienced research team" to pick the best lawyers in various fields. Yet many of the lawyers it names as best in a particular field have no connection at all to the designated area of practice. As one example I found, a solo family lawyer in Mass. was named the third best IP lawyer in the state, even though she has never touched an IP case in her entire career.<br /><br />Today, Scott Greenfield writes (via <a href="http://twitter.com/brucecarton/statuses/11781331726">@brucecarton</a>) that this <a href="http://blog.simplejustice.us/2010/04/08/and-the-online-lawyer-scam-continues.aspx">online lawyer scam continues</a> with the site's no less dubious selection of the 10 best criminal attorneys in the U.S. Asks Greenfield, "Anybody want to take a wild guess what's wrong with this list?"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3958829-930050059329621480?l=www.legaline.com%2Flawsites.html' alt='' /></div>
