			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Last year, two Washington state lawyers <a href="http://news.justia.com/cases/featured/washington/wawdce/2:2007cv00920/144356/">sued Avvo</a>, an attorney rating website, over the scores that Avvo had assigned to their profiles.  Although Avvo managed to obtain a successful conclusion to the case within 6 months by convincing the judge to <a href="http://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2:2007cv00920/144356/19/0.html">grant</a> its motion to dismiss, it still cost Avvo a pretty penny to prevail.  Now, we know exactly how much it cost Avvo thanks to a <a href="http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-wawdce/case_no-2:2008cv01597/case_id-155301/">lawsuit</a> filed by Avvo against its insurer that disclosed that Avvo had spent $134,000 in fees, costs and expenses defending the Browne v. Avvo suit.</p>
