Flat Fee Cease and Desist Letter/Internet Removal Letter

Within the context of defamatory activity, a cease and desist letter/Internet removal letter (“Cease and Desist Letter”) is a letter sent by an attorney which demands that the person committing the defamatory acts stop doing so and, in the case of online postings, it demands that such postings be removed. Within the context of the Internet, when appropriate, a similar letter can be sent to the website hosting the defamatory posting and/or the search engines which are listing such content.

A Cease and Desist Letter may be appropriate in a number of situations including, by mere example, the following:

1. Someone is making disparaging statements about you orally;
2. Someone is making disparaging statements about you in written form (such as, by example, by email or in the form of a letter);
3. Someone is posting disparaging statements about you online such as on social media sites; and/or
4. Someone is posting your image online without your permission in a way which is disparaging (such as, by mere example, by posting your photograph or video on an Internet pornography without your permission).

One of the advantages of a Cease and Desist Letter is that it is a very cost-effective way of potentially resolving the issue. As such, it is often (but not always) recommended that one retain an attorney to prepare a Cease and Desist Letter prior to resorting to litigation, which is a much more expensive and time-consuming process. If the Cease and Desist Letter is successful, then bringing a court action may not be necessary

No not always. In some instances, for example, if may be advisable to proceed immediately to starting an action in court. When you contact our office, we can advise whether it or not the sending of a Cease and Desist Letter would be beneficial to you given your situation.
