Internet Defamation and Rep Management

When your reputation is at stake and your online persona is being unjustly criticized, you need to seek out an Internet law firm whose experience in these cases is unparalleled. The Kelly Law firm has a reputation and track record for dealing with a wide range of Internet issues and online reputation management.

The Internet allows your business to reach millions of potential customers and to have a voice in markets that were previously unreachable. The negative side to that exposure is that it also provides the opportunity for others to slander your good name or to post unfavorable comments about you or your business. The havoc that can be wreaked on your reputation by anonymous individuals or business enemies can be devastating if it is not mitigated and dealt with in the proper manner.

The Kelly Law Firm, one of the few business attorney groups nationally recognized as an Internet Law Firm, specializes in the areas of law that are unique to the web. One of the most vital, and often most misunderstood, of these sectors is Internet defamation and online reputation management.

While there are packages available for businesses that are quick and inexpensive “reputation defenders,” it has been our experience that it is best to undertake a more thorough action to mitigate the impact of any negative comments about your business. Given that the damage from negative postings on the web can be long lasting and devastating to your livelihood, you need to take every possible step to ensure that your reputation is restored and the comments (and their originator) dealt with.

What to Do If You or Your Business Are the Victim of Online Defamation

If someone has posted a negative comment or review of you or your business online, it is tempting to use the same venue to confront your accuser. While this temptation exists, it is generally not in your best interest to do so. Feeding into an online dialog with an often anonymous antagonist typically creates more of a problem in the long run. We have found that this often emboldens your antagonist and creates a space in which they are likely to post further negative information.

Our attorneys are very familiar with this type of situation and have the experience necessary to guide you through the most effective steps to put your reputation back on track. Most of our clients have several options available to them with regard to these types of issues.

The process of restoring your online reputation can involve:

Removing the offending content from the Internet
Locating the individual responsible for the comments or postings
Determining if there are copyright or intellectual property issues at stake
