Yes. We have obtained multiple six- and seven-figure settlements and verdicts for clients harmed by defamation, online attacks, and digital privacy violations. When damages are warranted, we pursue them with a focused legal strategy—whether through negotiation, litigation, or both.

Internet defamation refers to false statements published online that harm a person’s or business’s reputation. This can include lies posted on websites, social media, reviews, forums, or news outlets.

If the content is false, damaging, and publicly accessible, we may be able to remove it, identify the person responsible, and pursue legal action. Options can include sending a demand for removal, filing a lawsuit, unmasking anonymous posters, and in some cases, recovering financial damages.

Yes. Many of our clients face attacks from anonymous individuals hiding behind fake names, burner accounts, or VPNs. We use court-authorized discovery tools, subpoenas, and digital forensic techniques to uncover the identity of the person responsible.

Once identified, we can take legal action to stop the behavior, remove the content, and pursue damages if appropriate.

We offer everything a top-tier reputation or SEO firm provides, including monitoring, strategy, and online reputation repair, along with the legal tools they cannot use.

As attorneys, we can take action others cannot. That includes sending legal demands, issuing subpoenas, and obtaining court orders to remove harmful content at the source. This combination of technical capability and legal authority leads to stronger, longer-lasting results.

Yes. We help clients repair and strengthen their online presence through a combination of content removal, strategic reputation management, and public relations support. This may include removing false or harmful content, promoting accurate and positive information, and guiding media response strategies.

We also offer monitoring services and legal protection to help prevent future issues. Whether your reputation has been damaged or you want to take proactive control, we tailor a plan to fit your goals.

The person who created or shared the content is often the primary source of liability. In some cases, others may also be held accountable, such as individuals who helped spread the content, websites that refused to remove it, or parties who enabled the harm.

We evaluate each situation to determine all potential avenues for legal action and work to hold the appropriate parties responsible.

We offer proactive monitoring and takedown services designed to detect and address threats early. If new harmful content appears, we can respond quickly to remove it and take legal action when needed.

For clients with ongoing risk such as public figures, professionals, and executives, we create long-term strategies to protect reputation, privacy, and online presence.

To protect yourself against online extortion, blackmail, and sextortion, we recommend following these seven steps:

• Make sure to screenshot and preserve all relevant evidence and communications,
• Have a trusted friend or family member support you in the documentation process (as this can help refute claims of evidence tampering by the opposing party),
• Stop engaging with the online blackmailer and cyber extortioner,
• Do not pay them any amount of the ransom or try and negotiate,
• Change up the privacy settings on your social media accounts so that no personal and sensitive information (including contacts) is publicly available, and
• Contact an experienced internet attorney as soon as possible.

We help clients contain the damage, remove sensitive content, and work with platforms or law enforcement when appropriate. Early intervention can make a significant difference.

Minc Law is the first and only law firm built exclusively to handle online defamation, content-based harm, and digital reputation issues. We were pioneers in this space and continue to lead it.

Our focus means we know what works, how to act quickly, and where to apply pressure to get results. We’ve helped public figures, professionals, executives, creators, and businesses protect what matters most when it’s under digital attack.

This isn’t one practice area among many—it’s the foundation of everything we do. When the stakes are high, you need a team that brings clarity, discretion, and real solutions.

When you reach out, you will speak with a member of our intake team who will take time to understand your situation and what you’re hoping to achieve. If we believe we are a strong fit for your needs, we will schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys.

If your matter falls outside the scope of what we handle, we won’t leave you guessing. We’ll point you toward trusted professionals who may be able to help.

During your consultation, you can expect clear legal insight, thoughtful recommendations, and a step-by-step plan tailored to your goals. From the very first conversation, we focus on easing your stress, protecting your reputation, and giving you back peace of mind.

Yes. We frequently collaborate with public relations firms, in-house legal teams, brand advisors, and other trusted professionals. We understand the importance of coordination when reputations, media narratives, or business interests are involved.

Our role is to strengthen your team’s efforts with legal authority and strategic insight, making sure every angle is addressed with care and precision.

We help clients navigate the impact of negative or unwanted news coverage. In many situations, the best path forward is to contact the publisher directly and request that the article be removed. Our attorneys understand how to approach these conversations, identify the right decision-makers, and present persuasive arguments grounded in both legal and editorial considerations.

If the article cannot be taken down, we pursue alternative solutions—such as removing your name from the piece, securing corrections, or requesting that the article be de-indexed from search engines.

When removal isn’t possible, we provide reputation management strategies to reduce the article’s visibility and restore balance to your online presence. We also offer pre-publication counseling and can reach out to media outlets in advance to help prevent unnecessary harm before a story is published.

We offer both. Some clients come to us for a one-time solution to remove harmful content or resolve a specific issue. Others choose to work with us on an ongoing basis to monitor their online presence, address new threats as they arise, and build long-term digital resilience.

Whether you need immediate relief or a lasting strategy, we tailor our services to match your goals and risk profile.

We understand the urgency that comes with reputational threats. In most cases, we begin work within 24 to 48 hours of your consultation. For high-priority or sensitive situations, we can often act the same day.

Our team is built to respond quickly and decisively. From the moment you engage with us, we focus on restoring stability and protecting what matters most to you.
