Remove Defamatory Content

Match the route to where it is published: a platform's policy or legal-removal channel, a request to Google to de-index the URL, or a court order when the author can be identified. We assess which route fits your situation for free, handle the filing, and you pay only after removal is confirmed.

A false statement of fact, published to others, that harms your reputation, such as 'he was convicted of fraud' when he wasn't. Online, that means articles, posts, reviews and comments. We check which of your content fits before you commit, and the check is free.

Often, in two ways. First, we pursue removal at the source (the article, review, or post) through the host platform's policy or legal channels. Second, we ask Google to de-index results that meet its criteria, such as content a court has found defamatory or exposed personal information, so some content we can't delete at the source can still be cleared from search. Removing the source also leaves AI tools less to repeat.

Usually not. Most defamatory content comes down through platform-policy and Google de-indexing routes that we handle directly. When a case calls for a demand letter or court order, we coordinate attorney partners and explain the costs up front.

The URL, dated screenshots of the content, and documents that contradict the claim (court records, licenses, contracts, correspondence), plus anything showing the harm, such as lost clients or a withdrawn offer. Save it before you contact the poster, because posts get edited. Send what you have with the form and we will tell you what would strengthen the case.

Opinion usually can't be removed as defamation, so we focus on suppression: building and strengthening accurate content so the criticism ranks below what matters. You will know which route applies after the free review.

Often the content can be removed without ever knowing who wrote it, since many defamatory posts also break a platform's rules, which is usually the quickest path and the one we try first. When identifying the author is needed, attorneys in our network handle that separate legal track, reserved for cases the faster policy and de-indexing paths cannot resolve.

There's no upfront fee for the removal work: you pay only after the content is confirmed removed. If a case requires litigation for a court order, attorney costs are separate and explained up front. Your free consultation gives you a clear scope before you commit.

A clear platform-policy violation often comes down in a few weeks. A defamatory article can take weeks to months, and a case that requires a court order runs on litigation timelines. You get a case-specific estimate during your free consultation.

Often, over time. AI answer engines draw from sources across the web, so once the defamatory source is removed or de-indexed there is less for them to repeat. Removing the source is the most reliable way to stop a false claim being repeated.

Libel is defamation in written or published form, which is nearly all online content: articles, posts, reviews, comments. Slander is spoken. Online defamation removal almost always deals with libel, and the same removal routes apply.

Sometimes. When a defamatory post also republishes your own copyrighted material, such as a professional headshot, photos you took, or text lifted from your website, we file the DMCA takedown, which is often quicker than a defamation claim. We use it alongside the platform-policy and de-indexing routes.

We review the content, tell you which of it we can pursue and by which route, and outline the plan, free and with no commitment. If you move forward, you pay only after removal is confirmed.

Our team handles the platform, publisher and Google filings and the escalation. When a case calls for a legal demand or court order, we coordinate attorney partners. In many cases the content comes down through platform and de-indexing channels without a lawsuit.

The usual path is a court judgment or order finding the specific content defamatory or unlawful, which Google's legal-removal process acts on to de-index the URLs. It is powerful but slower than platform-policy removal, so we pursue the faster routes first and reserve the court-order path for content that can't be removed any other way, coordinating with legal partners.

Some sites, such as Ripoff Report, say they do not remove posts. In those cases we combine suppression (outranking the page so almost no one sees it) with, where a court has ruled the content unlawful, a de-indexing request to Google so it stops appearing for your name. You will know which applies to your site after the free review.

Often a good first step. A formal cease-and-desist or retraction-demand letter from an attorney to the author sometimes resolves the matter on its own, and we coordinate this with legal partners as part of the fastest path to removal.
