What To Look For In A Defamation Expert


Over time, NetSlander.com has been involved with, and monitored, the internet defamation marketplace and has had interactions with 1000′s of web visitors on a monthly basis. While every person’s needs are different, we can generally sum up the needs of most visitors into 3 categories:

1) Need Legal Services To Sue For Or Stop Online Defamation;

2) Need Online Reputation To Clean Up Problems;

3) Need Cyber Investigative Services To Positively ID Someone For Criminal Or Civil Legal Proceedings

We will highlight some important things to look for in each.

Need Legal Services For Defamation

You know the old saying…. don’t hire foot doctor when you actually need a brain surgeon. This is also true on the internet because their is truly some specialized knowledge when it comes to dealing with internet libel & defamation.

One of the first things you need to ask yourself is if this information is truly defamatory in nature. By far, if you can meet one of the 4 criteria for the defamation being action per se, then it is much easier to create an actionable case. These are:

(i) accusing an individual of a criminal offense;

(ii) claiming that a person carries a nasty or loathsome disease;

(iii) negatively reflecting on a person’s abilities to carry out their profession or trade; or

(iv) imputing truly serious sexual wrong doings.

If you meet one these requirements, then the odds of an attorney taking your case go up considerably.

Can You PROVE Who Is Doing The Defamation?

In today’s environment of Anti-Slapp motion’s, your attorney will need to present a strong argument as to the why they will likely prevail in their lawsuit. If not, you may find yourself in a position of having to cover legal fees for the defendant. Google Anti-SLAPP suit to learn more here. For this reason, be carefulf of inexperienced attorney’s in the internet arena who are just going to blindly subpoena to find out and prove who is defaming you.
