Two years after suing a “Doe” defendant for online defamation, a Dallas personal-injury firm claims it has unmasked the author of a negative online review: a competing firm’s former worker. To determine its damages, plaintiff Lenahan Law wants a partial list of defendant Ben Abbott PC’s clients.

The defamation suit didn’t settle after mediation, Lenahan Law has told a court. The firm amended its suit with copious details about Mitchell “Mitch” Meabe of Portland, Ore., who allegedly wrote the bad review while doing Internet marketing work for his relative, lawyer Ben F. Abbott of Ben Abbott PC in Garland. Meabe, Abbott and Ben Abbott PC are the named defendants in the Dec. 26, 2013, second amended petition in Lenahan Law v. Meabe.
