Who Rates Lawyers?

There are three main sources of lawyer ratings:

1. Clients – These are reviews left on Google, Facebook, Avvo, and other public platforms.

2. Peers – Other lawyers often rate attorneys via platforms like Martindale-Hubbell and Super Lawyers.

3. Algorithms – Sites like Avvo use a point system based on experience, discipline history, and education.

Each system provides value—but none of them can replace a one-on-one consultation with a real attorney.

What Is the Best Lawyer Review Site?

There’s no single “best” site, but here’s how the top ones compare:

Choosing a criminal defense attorney in Arkansas is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Online ratings can be helpful—but only if you know where to look and how to interpret them.

At Ludwig Law Firm, we encourage prospective clients to do their research. But we also educate them on how to tell the difference between polished marketing and real performance.

Tip: A truly experienced lawyer should appear across multiple platforms with consistent results.

What Do Lawyer Reviews Usually Include?

Good reviews often mention:

• The outcome of the case

• The lawyer’s communication style

• Their responsiveness and accessibility

• Whether the client would hire them again

If every review just says “Great lawyer!” without details, dig deeper.

How to Find the Best Lawyer for Your Case

Online reviews are only one piece of the puzzle. A smart search should also include:

• Visiting the lawyer’s criminal defense practice page

• Reading their case results or blog content

• Asking how many cases like yours they’ve handled

• Understanding their trial strategy (not just settlement record)

We cover more in our step-by-step guide to choosing a criminal defense lawyer in Arkansas.
