Vancouver, WA couple sued for posting 1-star Google rating

A couple is being sued for defamation for posting 1-star reviews online. Autumn Knepper and Adam Marsh of Vancouver, Washington, said they gave negative reviews of a local roofing company after the receptionist on the phone was rude to them. Knepper says shortly after ratings rose, the company’s owner threatened legal action, telling them to remove ratings before “further damage is done”. An attorney for the roofing company said the couple’s actions were “inappropriate” and “deliberately harmed” the company.
