Overview

False and damaging statements—which include photos and videos created with generative AI can severely harm personal and professional reputations. Everyone has the right to protect their good name from defamatory remarks that are untrue and negligently or maliciously spread. Just as defective products can injure a consumer, a single defamatory statement can cause widespread reputational damage.

For years, CPM has been at the forefront of defamation litigation, advocating for individuals and businesses harmed by false statements made in social media, publications, broadcasts, and other communications. Since 1971, when Joe Cotchett first established his legal expertise, CPM attorneys have developed deep knowledge of defamation law and have served as lead and co-lead counsel in numerous defamation and related reputation cases.

For those whose reputations have been unfairly tarnished, it can be difficult to know how to hold wrongdoers accountable and seek justice. CPM has represented many clients harmed by defamatory statements, successfully securing compensation and stopping further harm to their reputations.

If you believe you have been the victim of defamation or reputational injury, please contact Duffy Magilligan for a confidential consultation.
