The Illinois Supreme Court, in a one-line ruling, rejected Avvo’s application for the Illinois Master Roll of attorneys. We are, as you might expect, surprised and disappointed in this outcome. Although we have the vast majority of Illinois lawyer records already, we were hoping that, with the ARDC’s cooperation, we could offer Illinois consumers and attorneys the complete picture of all Illinois licensed attorneys.

Nonetheless, we respect the court’s decision, and we’ll go on providing the service in Illinois in its current form. If you are an Illinois lawyer and you can’t find your profile on Avvo drop us a note and we will manually create it. Just be sure to give us your name, as that’s the only way we can get the info from the ARDC
