The contractor sued Perez for $750,000, claiming Internet defamation
(WJLA) A local contractor was victorious in court Wednesday after suing a former client for a negative review she posted on Yelp about the work he completed.
Jane Perez, an old high school classmate of contractor Christopher Dietz, hired Dietz Development to do work on her Falls Church townhome in June 2011.
Once the job was done, Perez logged on to Yelp and posted a harsh review of the D.C. contracting firm, listing jobs he did not perform at the home, damage that was done and jewelry that had disappeared, The Washington Post reported.
