More details to this question:
I had a lawyer withdraw from my divorce because I couldn't pay off my balance of 900.00 the day before mediation. So I left a negative review. Now he is threatening to sue me.

Anybody can be sued by anybody at any time, but that doesn't mean the lawyer would win. It is not libel (libel is written; slander is oral) to state an unflattering OPINION; you can only commit libel by stating an untrue FACT.
