1. Alani Golanski, Brooklyn, NY. I have no idea how Alani keeps showing up at the top of this list. I can’t find any links coming in to this profile. Perhaps, as some people suggested, this list is being gamed as some form of self-promotion. Any ideas? Alani, care to weigh in?

2. Okorie Okorocha, Los Angeles, CA. I couldn’t help but notice sexual harassment lawyer Okorie quoted in last week’s People magazine. (As I was reading over my wife’s shoulder.)

Mark wrote about the new functionality earlier this week in our blog here. To see how lawyers are now using Avvo to showcase their videos, check out Mark’s About Me tab.

6. J Hoelscher, Buffalo, NY

7. Kelly Chang, Los Angeles, CA. I’ve followed Kelly for about a year now as one of the best legal marketers in divorce law. We finally connected last week as I helped her upload video into her “About Me” tab. Check out the four videos she’s uploaded for an example of nailing online video as a marketing tool for lawyers.

8. Richard Ackerman Murrieta, CA

9. Nikki Jacobson Los Angeles, CA

10. Nicholas Okorocha Los Angeles, CA. I can only assume that Nick is Okorie’s brother (see above), unless there is another good reason that Los Angeles is replete with good looking lawyers with the last name Okorocha.

4. Ashley Dupree Russell, Texas. Some voyeuristic web searchers thought that perhaps Eliot’s Spitzer’s favorite call girl was not only an aspiring 22-year old singer, but might also be an attorney. Texas Attorney, Ashley Dupree Russell’s (of absolutely no relation to the former New York Governor) profile page got inundated with users last week.

Note, Ashley Dupre’s (of Spitzer fame) Lawyer is New York Attorney, Don Buchwald.
