The Tidrick Law Firm LLP is investigating claims that Yelp Inc. ("Yelp") has illegally harmed small businesses as a result of unfair practices that violate California law.
If you own a small business, you may have potential legal claims against Yelp. The following are examples of alleged business practices that may give rise to a legal claim against Yelp:
(1) Yelp not allowing a business to remove or correct untrue statements about the business;
(2) Yelp not taking down a false defamatory review posted by a competing business;
(3) Yelp charging fees to a business in order to mitigate the impact of a false defamatory review;
(4) Yelp not allowing a business to respond to a false defamatory review on Yelp;
(5) Yelp removing a business's response to a false defamatory review on Yelp;
(6) Yelp requiring that a business change its response to a false defamatory review on Yelp;
(7) Yelp refusing a business's request to correct the name of its business on Yelp.
The above are only examples. Your business may have experienced other unfair business practices that may give rise to a claim for restitution of money and/or injunctive relief.

Do not delay in seeking legal advice and retaining a lawyer. The statute of limitations (the deadline imposed by law within which one may bring a lawsuit) may severely limit the time remaining for you to file a lawsuit. Moreover, in some situations the law requires that certain steps be taken within strict time limits in order to preserve one's rights. If you believe that you have a potential claim, do not delay.

The firm cannot serve as your counsel in any matter unless there is an express agreement, in writing, that the firm is representing you. Please note that the statute of limitations (the deadline imposed by law within which you may bring a lawsuit) may severely limit the time remaining for you to file any potential claims you may have. You should not delay your decision to retain an attorney or file a claim because you have contacted the firm and are considering retaining the services of the firm. By delaying filing a claim, you may allow the statute of limitations to pass, eliminating forever your right to bring a claim.
