How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst: — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account: — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text: — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

This is definitely not a paid review, I have a great history with him, he’s very educated in his field, and is definitely beyond worth it to choose him for your legal representation.

Ariel Alvarez has been a long friend and one of my professors at my university. Ariel helped me in multiple cases of mine and been all were very successful. He understands the system and hadn’t life very easy. If you ever need help for any cases Ariel is the one to call.
