How to remove yourself from avvo.com
What they publish
Attorney profile pages — name, bar number, practice areas, ratings/reviews, sometimes photo and contact info — built largely from public state bar records.
Removing yourself, step by step
0 of 4 done- Claim your Avvo profile (if an attorney) via Avvo's claim-profile flow, then edit/blank out optional fields.
- For a full data-subject deletion request, submit via the Internet Brands OneTrust form above or email privacy@internetbrands.com with your name, email, residency, and the Avvo profile URL.
- Verify your email via the confirmation link Internet Brands sends.
- If the profile persists (attorneys often can't fully delete due to public bar-record status), request minimization instead: no photo, no aggregated review content, opt out of any lead-gen contact features.

How they confirm it
email link validation; may require "proof of residency and identity" for full data-subject requests
If they ignore you
Re-submit citing CCPA/GDPR deletion rights; complaint to CA AG (Internet Brands is CA-based) or relevant state AG; for non-attorneys mistakenly listed, cite that the underlying public-record justification doesn't apply and press harder for full deletion.
