Keepin It Real

We know dat Avvo has got da pimps. We see it in all doz messed up answers to real people's questions about they real problems. Pimps gotta keep it on, gotta get dem points, some props, some street cred.

But, there is another side to this. When someone cuts through the b/s by "keepin it real".

I want to give my respect to Mr. Stephen Mosca for his response to this question about how Avvo do its ratings.

I suppose a rating is affected by points "earned" for answering questions and writing legal guides, among many other factors. But I would hope that folks reading the site and looking for a lawyer will, upon selecting a likely candidate, read several, or more, of that person's former answers to other questions to get an idea of their level of knowledge and commitment to good defense practices.

Shallow answers designed to simply garner points should be apparent to even the casual reader, an embarrassment to the poster, and a blemish on the reputation of all lawyers that those dedicated to defense must continually overcome. It is what it is, I guess.

You right, Mr. Mosca. It is what it is.

Two big Ups to Mr. Mosca.

Now, where's my Krystal?
