Reputation Means Everything

Singer Weinsten Wolf & Jonelis LLP works with people for whom reputation is the most important thing in the world. A bad story about the people we work with can derail national opinion and cost them millions of dollars. They are also some of the people under the most scrutiny in the country.

Do not mistake your vulnerability for weakness. We can and have successfully pursued media outlets that publish flagrant, salacious stories about our clients. We fight to keep your name and image clear so you can focus on your work.

We Defend You From Defamation

The only thing more frustrating than having your private information find its way into the news is having the media manufacture news about you. A salacious, intriguing lie can move through the media quickly. But lies do not have to stand unchallenged.

Singer Weinsten Wolf & Jonelis LLP takes on the media about potential false stories pre-publication, working to persuade outlets to modify planned defamatory stories because information in their planned reporting would be actionable and expose them to liability if published. Our talented, relentless entertainment law litigators pursue tabloids and media outlets that spread lies about our clients as vigorously as possible.

Free Speech And Lies

Defamation must meet a general definition before you can take action. In order to move against a publisher for a story they printed or reported about you, that story must:

• Cause an injury: The story must damage you in some way, either by costing you work or severely impacting your reputation.
• Be false: It’s more complicated than simply “true or false,” because sometimes defamation is framed as conjecture or opinion.
• Not privileged: The law protects certain types from defamation, such as legal testimony.

However, if someone publishes a false statement about your and it damages the hard-earned reputation you have built, you can fight.
