Two law firms have filed a class-action lawsuit against local search provider Yelp for allegedly extorting Cats & Dogs Animal Hospital, based in Long Beach, Calif., in order to take down a negative review.
Beck & Lee Business Trial Lawyers in Miami and The Weston Firm in San Diego filed the suit, according to a Web site that the two firms created.
Both firms painted Yelp as a Web site that preyed on small businesses to increase its sales commissions.
