If they were indeed family members and employees posting reviews and they are all coming from the same IP address it seems like there is enough evidence to warrant looking into it.
Also, they should be subject to the law like everyone else. If they are behaving unethically and breaking advertising laws and deceiving consumers, fuck them. They should be punished. Fullstop. Just because they are a law firm doesn't grant them special privilege outside of the act of giving legal advice. Fake reviews aren't legal advice.
If her allegations are true, I hope she wins and it sets a good precedent about fake reviews.

There are complex rules governing attorney advertising, which have long applied to typical advertising (e.g., TV commercials, magazine ads), and if they were indeed coercing employees to solicit reviews that they know to be untrue, they would likely fall afoul of some of these ethical rules.
