Q&A

Question: What can I do about a defamatory review about my business?

Answer:

Businesses can sue for defamation in some circumstances, however, there are many limitations as to how businesses can sue for defamation. The best initial approach to take to a something you believe is a defamatory review is to contact the individual directly to have them remove their review. You should exhaust all informal options before taking any legal steps.
