A False Review or Statement Affects Your
Reputation and Your Bottom Line.
Injurious statements, be they written online or verbal attacks, are incredibly detrimental to an individual or company brand. Whether the defamatory content is from a review-based site, a message board, a special purpose website, or directly from a competitor’s mouth, they all affect your reputation and bottom line. In such cases, unfounded and untruthful content must be removed quickly and properly.
For most online matters, a strongly worded letter from qualified attorneys is all that is needed to convince the poster to remove the offending content. More complex cases can be handled by contacting the hosting website and alerting it to possible FTC or intellectual property violations. Extreme circumstances may require filing a John Doe lawsuit seeking damages and injunctive relief.
We understand how important it is for you to have a positive online reputation. The attorneys at Lewis & Lin have fought on behalf of companies and individuals to identify people responsible for the posting of offending online materials, remove the defamatory content, and seek potential damages.
