GENTLS FEE

Before inquiring about the amount of our fee,
ask yourself how you value
your reputation?

Should you fail to stop the dissemination of defamatory information, how much will it cost?

It may result in an unconcluded contract, loss of funding for elections and other preparatory initiatives, deprivation of preferences and high powers, decrease in business profit, suspension of funding, etc…

Furthermore, delays in response are costly, because information attacks are not a targeted strike. They are a weapon of mass destruction. It is the situation when people make a mountain out of a molehill.

Therefore, the sooner you hire an attorney, the faster the situation can be resolved and the fewer resources it will take.

Now, GENTLS attorneys will help you to take an advantage rather than loose.

POWER OF THE INTERNET AND NEW RULES OF THE GAME

Bad PR

Most people who want to do business with you will study information about you on the Internet before the first meeting (you do the same).

Missed opportunities

People are not able to assess if the information is reliable. Thus, negative publicity can make people avoid communication with you.

Distorted perception

Search engines set what others say about you above what you tell about yourself.

Success produces envy

The more successful your business is there are more people who want to tarnish your reputation with slander and false information. And one has only to start – others will join.

Negative information on the Internet is explosive

Everything that is publicly said and written about you can be found in the global network. And the longer this information is on the Internet, the more effects it entails.

Do not let enemies disturb your plans

Targeted negative information can be fatal to your career or business.

Your reputation is worth standing up for it, because you have been working hard for years to build it.
