DALLAS - A Haynes and Boone, LLP legal team led by Partner Jason Bloom helped client Sean Gharavi win an appeal from a $1.2 million judgment against him based on a single Yelp review about a dentist.
On Feb. 26, 2021, a Dallas appellate court reversed the judgment and rendered a take-nothing judgment.
The Yelp review vented frustration that a dentist, who had formerly been a client of Gharavi’s marketing business, called Aidris, had failed to pay fees owed, even after Aidris obtained an arbitration award and judgment against the dentist. After Aidris pursued legal measures to collect the judgment, the dentist agreed to a settlement and mutual release of claims. Two months later, the dentist sued Gharavi based on the Yelp review, which the dentist had been aware of and had removed before the settlement and release of claims.
