Sure, but by then the damage is already done. The focus should be on avoiding client harm in the first place. But that seems to be an afterthought. The greater concern, if you read the codes and other things written by the biz, is protecting the T in the case of conflict.
Yelp at least bypasses all this bulls**t and gives the client the power to speak without any meddling from professionals.
