Some people whose reputations have been so badly maligned may be able to seek legal recourse. Below is a list of Canadian lawyers who may be able to help (lists for other countries to follow later). Of course, even if you win a law suit for defamation, you’ll still have to clean up any damage to your reputation that may linger online long afterwards. That’s where an online PR firm like Velvet Talk Management comes in.
