Websites that allow users to review businesses are often dominated by what millennials like to call “haters.” But from a legal standpoint, can you just fire away with unjust criticism of Joe’s Garage or Uptown Pizza?

Gordon has a legal victory under his belt to back him up. He represented the owner of an advertising business who sued for libel after being disparaged on ripoffreports.com and reviewstalk.com.
