Avvo and Justia aren’t just out there they are making waves, often on the first page of any “attorney” or “lawyer” search results.
Jane Pribek of the Wisconsin Law Journal has a good article about these online lawyer directories. I recommend you bookmark Jane’s page. I make a point to read her stuff.

I recently received a couple of contacts through Avvo that were the typical “We are seeking a reputable attorney to pursue our interests in North America” messages. It appears that the email scammers have moved on to sites like Avvo, Justia and the like. However, I appreciate your direction to Jane’s article, it’s a good one.
Noah,
Thanks for the comment. I’ve received a few of those spam contacts also. I “Tweeted” about them not too long ago and a number of other attorneys said they had the same issue. The depth and tenacity of email spammers is pretty impressive. I wish they’d use their “power” for “good instead of evil.”
