Class Action Lawyers Declare Victory Over Yelp, Still Want Damages

Local business review site Yelp is drawing a ton of headlines today as the company has announced a number of changes to the way it conducts business in the wake of several lawsuits that accused the company of extorting businesses to advertise . In a press release distributed earlier this morning, class action lawyers Beck & Lee from Miami and The Weston Firm in San Diego declared victory over Yelp, calling the modifications a "first step in the right direction". But that doesn't necessarily mean they won't be pushing through for damages on behalf of their clients.
