Social Media and Privacy Settings

Are you involved in a Civil, Criminal, or Family Court matter?  If you are, an attorney is trying to do research on you via the internet.  Social media, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., can be a very valuable resource for attorneys in developing a case against you, or discrediting you.  Pictures and statements that you feel are harmless can be taken out of context and used against you. The best thing to do to prevent this from happening is to keep your settings as private as possible, so people like attorneys cannot see your information.  Remember, attorneys cannot misrepresent who they are pursuant to their ethical rules, so if an attorney does make a misrepresentation, they can be sanctioned.  Be careful with your information as to what you put on the internet, and who you trust, because it could become a big issue in your life if you end up fighting about something in court.
If you have been charged with BatteryBattery Domestic Violence, or any crime related to a Domestic incident, or if a protective order (TPO or EPO) has been issued against you, please visit gerobinsonlaw.com or call 702-233-4225 for help.
