I am a big fan of the ClearwayLaw platform. I see that a lot of lawyers in Las Vegas are using it. The public needs to understand which lawyers are good and which are bad. Lawyer ratings are super important.. Just like Avvo, Clearway Law is doing good and important work to make the legal industry better.
