California lawyer sues over Yelp review

An insolvency lawyer from Sacramento has sued over a review on Yelp which described him as a 'nightmare bankruptcy attorney'.

'The reviewer, who signed her name Shaan D, alleged that he had asked her out. She claimed that someone had recommended Anthony Hughes as a bankruptcy specialist and continued ‘so I went to that person privately to see if i can get a help. but instead he was soliciting me to go out with him. I was so embarrased that day. So ladies and gentlemen be careful who you choose to ask for help, diffinately not Anthony hughes’. 

'Fabricated'

Mr Hughes claims the review was fabricated and written from a location in India. He also believes that the aim of the review was to harm his practice. He is seeking to learn the identity of Shaan D through the suit. Source: ABA
