    Hellp DP users!

    I am working for a law Firm and noticed that our competitors and previous attorneys are going online and posting some nasty reviews of our firm. What do you suggest we do? I dont think that doing the same thing to them is an option, so dont bother telling me to do this!

    I guess what Im asking for is... Should we hire someone to post reviews to drain out the negative ones? What other options do we have?

    Please, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Beat me to it.

    Aside from that, how can you be sure that they are from competitors? They may be some customers with genuinely bad experiences.

    What was your work again? :rolleyes:

    Surely, a person who works for a Law Firm knows how to handle such. How about asking for a consultation from the Law firm then?

    Everyone has right to speak his mind. You can't edit their posts on wish and even if you comment there they are not fools to publish your comments.

    So only option you have to spread positiveness. post positive things about your firm, more in amount than them. And if they are being nasty and unethical go to court.

    If it's slander, then just sue them and get the money lol

    Doing the same is gonna get your law firm into trouble

    Yes, you are working for law firm, then you must know that you can claim for insult. In my country, there is law for it and your enemy will be fined with big amount.

    If the OP was busy, there's even less point to post here since the OP wouldn't even have time to read answers anyway?

    Apparently the OP was on yesterday, why didn't the OP bother replying? Hmmmmmm

    If you dont have any advise, then why post??? If you all wouldve read the post correctly, you wouldve seen that I said I rec ently started working for a law firm!

    I know its from a competitor because our competitor was on speaker when he called the primary council and said "I will slander you on the these websites"! Need any more proof?

    And we cannot sue anyone because there is REALLY nothing we can do. Websites that post reviews are not liable for what people post nor do they check if the review is in fact true or not!

    @ Project Mobius- WHY are you so concerned as to when Im logging in or not? Thats a bit creepy if you ask me!

    Thanks for your help, or should I say wasting my time!

    Has it ever occured to you that there are many different practices in law?? Since it's related to the internet, I figured I'd post here since this is where I do MY SEO work.

    Thanks for your "SMART" post!

    I reckon you should flood them out with good reviews. If they are showing up in Google, then out-SEO them.

    Good, at least you are not one of "those" I take my words back. But try and use the multi-quote next time :)

    ahhh.. but darling how many "experts" were you expecting to find in a forum with a cesspool of noobs? Are you out of options and DP is the only place you could ever ask for a professional advise? :rolleyes:
