A western Pennsylvania woman is suing a Pittsburgh personal injury firm for fraud, alleging that the firm's false online reviews tricked her into hiring an ineffective lawyer.

Tabatha Wolfe claims that after she reached out to Kraemer, Manes & Associates based on its high online ratings, the firm botched her sexual harassment case against a former employer by letting the statute of limitations on key claims expire.

In addition to accusing the firm of soliciting fake positive reviews, she alleged the firm threatened her with litigation if she did not take down her own negative post about it, in a complaint filed Wednesday in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas. The complaint is on behalf of a proposed class of numerous Kraemer Manes clients.
