Two suggestions:
1)Why not write to the clients who provided them? Send them a template letter saying something along the lines of…”it’s been brought to my attention that a review I provided for X Ltd, for work carried out by X ltd for me, has been adopted by your business without my knowledge or consent. I write to give you formal notice that, unless you remove it within x days, I will be taking further action again you”. Send as many of these as you can get, together with a letter of your own threatening legal action if they don’t remove them. Cheaper initially than consulting IP lawyers, but if it doesn’t bring about the required result, get an IP lawyer onto it.
2) Leave your own Google review for them explaining who you are and where the specific reviews have come from. Only do this if a) you are CERTAIN of your facts, and b) you can prove EVERY WORD in your review. Keep it short, and if in doubt, don’t do this one. You don’t want to end up on the wrong end of a libel suit, which won’t happen if everything you say is correct and can be proven.
