I’m hijacking this weekly column for the self-serving purpose of introducing the legal players on the Browne v. Avvo case which was recently dismissed by a federal Judge Robert Lasnik here in Washington. Two Washington attorneys, John Henry Browne and Alan Wenokur filed a proposed class action claim against Avvo alleging that various parts of Avvo’s business were corrupt. Steve Berman of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro represented Browne and Wenokur in the case. The defense was led by First Amendment superstar, Bruce Johnson of Davis Wright Tremaine. Stephen Rummage and Ambika Doran of DWT and Jim Savitt of Savitt & Bruce also contributed their bright legal minds to the case.

For more detail on the case and its outcome, you can read all about it in Avvo’s Track Record, Browne v. Avvo. You can also access Judge Lasnik’s Decision on Avvo’s Motion to Dismiss in its entirety.

Now, back to the work of helping consumers find the right lawyer . . .
