Do reviews on Avvo, Justia, or Martindale Hubbell matter more than Google reviews for lawyers?

Google reviews still carry the most direct ranking weight, but Avvo, Justia, and Martindale Hubbell profiles matter because potential clients research attorneys across all of these sites before choosing one.

A strong presence across all of them builds the kind of overall credibility that supports your Google rankings indirectly. Neglecting these legal specific platforms while only focusing on Google leaves a gap in how complete your online reputation looks.
