Christopher Dietz is suing Jane Perez for $750,000 after she posted critical comments about Dietz home contracting company on Yelp and Angie’s list. Dietz claims Perez’s words were false and hurt his reputation costing his company $300,000 in lost revenue.

In the August 2012 review, Perez claimed Deitz caused lasting damage to her home and added that some of her jewelry had gone missing during the construction process.
