A woman is being sued by a Houston law firm after she wrote negative reviews of the firm on Facebook and Yelp.

Lan Cai, 20 years old, hired the Law Offices of Tuan A. Khuu and Associates to represent her after she was hit by a drunk driver. But when Cai felt the law firm failed to work with her after she hired them, she vented her frustration online which spurred the law firm to sue her.

"I wouldn't even give this law firm a star," Cai wrote of the law firm on Yelp on July 7. "When I first start (sic) talking to them they were very pushy. When I try to reach them, no one would answer my call or email. Please, don't waste your time here."

Cai later updated her review to include "If you say a bad thing about this law firm they will try to sue you! So you better (sic) out, you better not cry, this attorney will come for you!"

Cai wrote on June 30 in the Facebook group Vietnamese Americans in Houston,"...they came to my house and into my room to talk to me when I was sleeping in my underwear. Seriously, it's super unprofessional! After that I found someone else to switch to... I came in the office to meet with my previous attorney, but he literally ran off... So please DON'T waste your time..."

When the three-car collision that injured Cai occurred isn't clear. Cai did not respond to requests for an interview on Wednesday.

Keith Nguyen, an attorney with Tuan A. Khuu, said what Cai posted online isn't true but wouldn't explain what was false about it.

"She made disparaging remarks about the law firm and we asked her to retract the original post. We told her to post the truth online," Nguyen said. "She decided to keep trash talking and didn't heed my warnings. I told her we'd have to sue her if she didn't stop."

The law firm filed suit July 15 in Fort Bend County's 240th State District Court.

According to KPRC, Tuan A. Khuu is asking for $100,000 to $200,000 in damages.

Nguyen said the firm is working with Cai to resolve the issue.

Houston attorney Michael Fleming on Wednesday said he's representing Cai to get the lawsuit dismissed.
