I’ve worked as an Online Defamation Expert Witness on a variety of cases (including one in which my client won a $38,000,000 judgement).
Online defamation is an increasing problem; whether it’s on Facebook, Yelp, Twitter, RipOffReport, LinkedIn, TripAdvisor, or on any of hundreds of social networks, competitors are defaming each other, disgruntled clients are defaming companies with which they have a dispute, people are weaponizing social media to carry out vendettas…but there’s a flip side. Sometimes companies use accusations of defamation to silence critics.
If you’ve been defamed–or are fighting an unjust accusation of online defamation–and need an Online Defamation Expert Witness, contact me and let’s talk.

I’m an ecommerce consultant, best-selling tech author (SEO for Dummies, Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Internet, and many others), and video-course trainer. Back in 1996, however, I was asked by Microsoft to provide an expert report related to the use of sound in Web browsers, during patent litigation. Since then I have worked on scores of cases–not only as an online-defamation expert witness, but in relation to patents, trademarks, copyright, contract disputes, online defamation, unfair business practices and more … cases with some element related to Internet technology and digital marketing.
I’ve worked on cases related to SEO (Search Engine Optimization), PPC (Pay Per Click search ads), Web development, social media, and more. If you’re looking for an Online Defamation Expert Witness, please contact me right away. Let’s talk.
