A Virginia woman who was sued for $750,000 by a contractor over negative Yelp reviews she left of his work is getting an assist from the ACLU and Public Citizen, who say that a court’s ruling against her amounts to censorship, writes the Post.

In a recent court ruling against Fairfax resident Jane Perez, a judge ordered her to delete certain Yelp reviews she had published of D.C. contractor Christopher Dietz ahead of a trial scheduled for next year. But lawyers for the ACLU and Public Citizen say that the value and veracity of her claims should be left to a jury to decide:

“Without resolving the specifics of what Jane Perez said about Christopher Dietz, it’s too easy for plaintiffs to go into court and ask for an injunction to shut up public discussion,” said Paul Alan Levy, an attorney for Public Citizen. “Any court order about the contents of the speech ought to await the jury’s verdict.”

The ACLU and Public Citizen are seeking to have the preliminary injunction overturned and their attorneys will serve as her counsel in the case.

In her Yelp reviews of Dietz’ work, Perez said he had damaged her home, submitted invoices for work he did not do and stolen jewelry from her home. In his lawsuit, Dietz claimed the reviews cost him $300,000 worth of business.
