Recently, our firm has experienced a virtual explosion of inquiries from potential clients who have suffered defamation or harassment on the Internet. The range of people making these inquires is striking: from the parents of children that are being defamed to angry ex-lovers; from so-called reviews of entities such as restaurants, personal service companies and physicians to individuals who are wrongfully accused of a sexual peccadillo. The Internet seems to be a magnet for bad behavior for those without the courage to reveal their identity.

Our experience in this area ranges from Internet harassment to invasion of privacy issues; from Internet slander (defamatory speech) to Internet libel (defamatory printed words). We also work with search engine optimization professionals who can (in proper circumstances) sometimes address the searchability of wrongful postings. Moreover, we often work with computer forensic experts to assist us in the event we file a lawsuit to address a wrongful posting.
