Internet Defamation and Free Speech

There is a fine line between protected expression and actionable Internet defamation (also known as libel or, in some instances, trade libel). Kronenberger Burgoyne understands the difference, and what to do about the latter when it threatens the hard-earned reputation of your business.

It takes little time and even less money to create a defamatory website that quickly ranks high on search engines. Kronenberger Burgoyne is experienced in utilizing a variety of federal and state Internet defamation laws to vindicate the rights of commercial clients who are the victims of online defamation. Whether the perpetrator is a rogue or former employee or a disgruntled customer, we act quickly and aggressively to root them out and to put an end to their defamatory practices.

Typically, Kronenberger Burgoyne's primary objective is getting the offending material removed from websites on which it appears, and from search engine caches. Where appropriate, however, Kronenberger Burgoyne also takes legal action, including through civil litigation geared toward recovering damages and other fees.
