Google has a strict policy on the kinds of content that can be left in a Google Review.

In the world of Google Maps, spam and fake reviews are quite common to find. Some ways to tell if a review is spam or fake is by checking the profile a review came from. You can see the history of reviews left on the profile. If someone left 30 reviews for 30 different law firms, they are either extremely unlucky or fake.
