[Fredslist] need attorney with experience removing inaccurate info ...

This is a very good approach. A few years back a construction firm in Brooklyn (a very similar business to mine) with my name had a very bad review. This review appeared as the 2nd or 3rd entry when one googled my name. I was besides myself as this was clearly not me, but to the average internet searcher it could have easily appeared to be my firm.

Ultimately it moved further down the search page and disappeared. Not only should you "bury" the bad with an avalanche of good - I think it is also wise not to "click" on the bad review....each click helps to keep the review relevant.

Correct-all you can do is "bury" the bad with an avalanche of good.  I have taken on that task for those of my clients who found themselves in the same situation, through no fault of there own. That is definitely the dark side of the internet. Anyone can say anything and  it can echo indefinitely. 

 If you have a publicist, or can engage someone capable for this purpose, have that person send out press releases, a simple newsletter, a daily or weekly blog, LinkedIn comments, tweets and more--all of which will serve to push the incendiary material to Google's back pages that no one ever looks at. 

If you don't have a publicist enlist any writer friends to do some of the above.  Having clients rave about you is also good--just make sure it goes not only on your website but throughout the appropriate parts of the blogosphere.

Regular news releases and feature stories about your firm can go on dgiWire.com, or on prnewswire, as well as other places. 

If you have written a book, you can use it to get reviews.  If you give talks, that too can warrant a news story...just some ideas I hope might be helpful.

I agree with Jack 100%. I was trashed on the internet a few years ago by a client who owed my firm a significant amount of money. I even blogged about it and found that there were many people I knew going through a similar nightmare. 

I sent letters to every elected official I knew and none could help.  The only thing that helped me was having everyone I know post positive reviews to "bury" the negative.  We also now, whenever we close a case, ask the client to post a review.

Very difficult. The laws have not caught up to the internet. If you find an attorney or other that says they can help….please let me know. My Uncle was wrongly trashed on the web and was told that there was nothing that can be done.

Hi folks ... I'm not sure if this can be done, but my client was mentioned in an article in a small town local CT online newspaper, in association with a legal case, and he's looking to have it removed.  (my client was not on trial, he was a witness I believe)

I've already tried different methods of "burying" the article by posting more positive content, and that's not going to work, so I'm looking for an option that involves coercing the editor to edit or take down the article.  He owns a business, so it can potentially hurt things for him. 

TECHNICALLY they have his name wrong ... whereas if they were to change it to his legal name instead of his common name, it wouldn't show up in a google search.  Any thoughts?  He's willing to invest money to make this go away

Thanks!!

Mike
