In the Spring of 2013, Jennifer Allen took to the internet with false accusations against tech investor and blogger Michael Arrington. Despite their falsity, the accusations were extensively republished. Ellis George partner Eric George filed a defamation suit on behalf of Mr. Arrington against Ms. Allen in federal court in Washington state. Following Ms. Allen’s deposition in the suit, Ms. Allen settled the case, agreeing to retract her accusations and to apologize to Mr. Arrington. The settlement was recently documented in an article on The New York Times website, in which Mr. George offered the following: “This is a complete vindication for Michael. He dealt with the ugliest of accusations in a principled way and, as soon as he received the retraction he had sought from the beginning, he kept his word and dismissed the lawsuit.” Assisting Mr. George in the litigation were Ellis George attorneys Russell Wolpert and Lauren Woodland.
