DEFEND YOUR REPUTATION
Have you been defamed on social media or by word of mouth?
Has a false publication harmed or destroyed your reputation?
Has it affected your business?
Zelden Solicitors has experience in providing assistance and representation in this area.
Defamation occurs where a person says or writes something negative about another person in the presence of an audience and that other person has his/her reputation damaged. However, what is said or written about that other person is not true.
Examples or defamatory material include photographs and newspaper articles. The defamatory material may be created through the internet. Negative tweets on Twitter, Instagram and/or Facebook posts are examples.
If you have been affected by defamatory material, you must act quickly. Generally, you only have one (1) year to commence proceedings against the person or company that defamed you after such defamatory material was created. However, before you commence proceedings, there are certain things that you must do to try and resolve all issues.
You must also be mindful that there are a number of defenses to defamation.
Contact Bob Zelden immediately upon becoming aware of such defamatory material. Time is of the essence. Your reputation is very important to you.
