Case Details

Defendant was a prior friend of our client; however, the two had a falling out and the Defendant then engaged in a pattern of harassing, abusive and threatening behavior that included creating a fake Facebook profile claiming to be our client, claiming our client had A.I.D.S. and using the profile to generally defame our client’s reputation. The court ultimately entered a judgment awarding our client $60,000 for defamation, $60,000 for emotional distress and $120,000 for punitive damages for a total award of $240,000. In addition to obtaining a monetary judgment against the defendant, we also assisted our client in obtaining an order of protection that forbids the defendant from harassing her further - which if broken will subject the Defendant to criminal charges being filed against her.

Additional Notes

Judgment awarded for defamation, emotional distress, and punitive damages. Order of protection also obtained.
