Additional information: Our defamation lawyers acted for a national motor repair company. A disgruntled customer defamed our client’s company on the internet and said he would only agree to remove the defamation from Google + Google reviews should our client comply with his unreasonable demands. Our lawyers communicated with the author of the review to ensure removal without the need for legal proceedings. Our client was relieved to have their clean internet reputation restored. Our lawyers recommend to business owners to never agree to be blackmailed in return for removal of a defamatory review from the internet as this tends to invite further defamation and is a far less effective was to deal with online defamation than to make a statement that your company is not willing to tolerate unfair reviews or be blackmailed in return for removal of reviews from the internet. Our defamation lawyers are highly experienced in dealing with customers’ reviews and will help you resolve and overcome any dispute that demonstrates itself in negative online reviews.
