Client’s Voice Nets Client Choice Award 2015

Chad Van Horn has attained a Client Choice Award 2015, from Avvo.com – an online legal services marketplace. Chad Van Horn, founder of the Van Horn Law Group in Fort Lauderdale, attained a 9.6 out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 ranking thanks to the reviews and feedback of former clients. When an attorney is concerned largely with representing his clients rather than how many hours he can bill, it shows in the reviews that clients give. An attorney is the client’s voice, a representative in a complicated system that laypeople generally cannot navigate on their own.

How is the Score Calculated?

Ratings on Avvo are calculated using a mathematical model and drawing information from multiple sources – not just client reviews. Background data can come from many different sources such as court records, State Bar associations, years in practice, disciplinary history, and professional achievements. All lawyers on Avvo are treated equally; there is no favoritism nor can an attorney pay to have his rating changed to one that is more favorable or appealing. While client reviews are posted on the site, they do not factor in the final scoring. So the award is as unbiased as you can possibly get, and un-skewed by favorable or unfavorable reviews. Avvo boasts of reading 97 percent of US lawyers, and that every five seconds someone receives free legal advice on Avvo.

Among the highlights in the pages of reviews are the following:

  • “I didn’t have much respect for lawyers due to past experience with them. Then I had the good fortune of meeting with Chad Van Horn and I realized that not all lawyers are the same.”
  • “After calling a few firms I tried Van Horn. Once I explained my situation to Chad he immediately developed and explained a plan of action. He was compassionate, understanding and extremely knowledgeable.”
  • “I was $135,000 in student loan debt, after a 2 hour financial review Chad informed me that due to a technicality I didn’t owe the money at all.”
  • “Thank you Chad!! Between you and your amazing staff, we feel confident that we are in the right hands. You’ve all made it such a breeze to open my studio and FINALLY live the dream.”
  • “Chad was a tremendous help on a class action case. He was very quick to respond on all matters and kept me up-to-date on all issues. He negotiated with the other party to get a quick and fair resolution.”

While you can’t make everybody happy, a conscientious and involved lawyer will advocate for client on the understanding that the need for justice and resolution is real and present. Retaining a lawyer, or even just asking for advice, should be a showcase for the lawyer’s best efforts. And as you can see from the rest of the reviews on the page, Van Horn law group has done just that.
