Lawyer Profile Merge – Combining All That Experience!
After launch many of you gave feedback about the features on Avvo. From that feedback we realized that one of the biggest issues is the inability to merge attorney profiles. Many of you are licensed in more than one state and thus have more than one Avvo profile and that can be a real annoyance to keep up to date.
With our most recent feature release we solved this by changing the process of claiming profiles. Now, when you claim your second, third, forth, etc profiles, the system automatically merges your bar records as well as your peer endorsements into your first profile. This is great because it puts all your bar experience together in one profile (which is good for consumers to see and it can also positively effect your Avvo Rating). It also makes updating your Avvo presence much easier since everything is located in one profile.
Now, if you’re one of the many lawyers that has already claimed more than one profile and would like them merged into one, give us a call or send us a support request and we’d be more than happy to merge them for you. It won’t take more than a couple minutes.
As we add new states to our system, you will be able to find new profiles that are yours and claim them. Those profiles will then be automatically merged into your existing profile.
Hopefully this will be a much better experience for lawyers and consumers.
Keep the feedback coming. We’ll keep the improvements coming.
