The attorney should have dealt with the matter in some way other than suing Yelp.  Law suits can be a double edged sword, as this lawyer is witnessing.

No! They should use Yelp, just in the right way. Expect some bad reviews and be prepared to deal with them, fix whatever went wrong. With any business there will be good/bad reviews, just don't try to manipulate to your favor, sooner or later that can backfire (as it is happening to the lawyer, or even customers can spot those fake reviews).
