Here are the top viewed lawyers on Avvo for last month. The common thread seems to be that unless you are mired in scandal or a fictional lawyer played by William Shatner, you need to be an avid fan of Avvo Answers.

1. Gabriel Schwartz of Denver, CO: Unsurprisingly, Mr. Schwartz tops the list – having lived large at the RNC

2. Amy Tanne of Mount Kisco, NY: Kirkland & Ellis partner Frederick Tanne has filed suit against his ex-wife, her alleged lover and father-in-law, claiming that she gave him herpes

3. Nora Dannehy of Hartford, CT: Attorney General Michael Mukasey has just appointed Dannehy to oversee the probe into whether Alberto Gonzales and his deputies fired prosecutors for political reasons

4. Scott Erwin of DeKalb, IL: Erwin learned from the Illionis ARDC that he could not accept lapdances nor stripteases in exchange for legal fees – who knew?

5. John Kaman of San Francisco, CA: The indomitable top Avvo Answerer is one of the few repeats on this list

6. Anthony Cappuccio of Doylestown, PA: This Bucks County prosecutor has been charged with inappropriate conduct with a teenage boy in the parking lot of a shopping center

7. Denny Crane of Boston, MA: Denny is pro-life, pro-death penalty, anti-tax and feels that elevators are for Democrats – you may recognize him from Boston Legal – some have taken issue with his Avvo Rating

8. Thuong-Tri Nguyen of Renton, MA: Like Jon Kaman, Thuong-Tri is a champion participant in Avvo Answers

9. Lisa Hayes of Washington DC

10. Stuart Reich of New York, NY: Another champion participant in Avvo Answers
