What Can a Revenge Porn Attorney do for me?
Revenge Porn Attorney
Since the rise of revenge porn, lawmakers have been scrambling to establish laws against this crime. Pennsylvania is one of several states that now have a law on revenge porn. Therefore, if you have experienced revenge porn, you now can legally fight and receive damages for this injustice. A revenge porn attorney from Kraemer, Manes & Associates LLC (KM&A) can serve as your advocate through the legal system and fight to ensure that you get the legal remedy you deserve.
What Can a Revenge Porn Attorney do for me?
A revenge porn attorney answers your questions about the law and handling a revenge porn situation. Since the law states that sharing nude photos without consent is illegal, an attorney helps you fight for your right to sexual privacy. Moreover, a revenge porn attorney advocates on your behalf as you seek justice, and an attorney deals with the documentation so you don’t have to. However, since every situation is different, a lawyer must evaluate your circumstances in order to decide the best course of action.
Cease and Desist letters
Sometimes, an official and legal letter to the perpetrator of the revenge porn is enough to end the problem. A Cease and Desist letter threatens more legal action if the perpetrator does not stop their actions against you.
Internet content removal
Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the content owner can demand photos be removed from online. Moreover, Act 115 of 2014 in Pennsylvania details that posting revenge porn anywhere online is illegal. Since these laws exist, online websites must respond and take down inappropriate photos.
Restraining orders
Depending on the situation, a restraining order might be a step of action to take for your protection. While you can file for a restraining order yourself, a lawyer knows which restraining order best applies to your situation and offers further legal insight.
Lawsuits
Although many legal steps pave the way to a lawsuit, an attorney helps to ensure that the perpetrators, sometimes online service providers as well, face the law. Since a lawsuit can become a public affair, a lawyer recognizes how to minimize exposure or coaches you through the experience as you fight for justice.
Damages
A revenge porn attorney can help you recover any actual damages you sustained, including the loss of money, reputation, and property. Moreover, you may also be able to recover damages for attorney’s fees and court costs and any other relief the court deems necessary and proper.
