Woman Succeeds in Getting Defamatory Social Media Posts Removed

A woman who was subjected to defamatory posts on Facebook has succeeded in having them removed after taking legal advice.

The woman and her husband had started to feed and look after a cat that had been coming into her garden. The cat subsequently disappeared and the woman posted in a local Facebook group asking if anyone had seen it. An anonymous user responded to her post, claiming to be the cat's owner and accusing her of stealing and falsely microchipping his pet.

She sought legal advice and supplied evidence including screenshots and conversations. Fortunately, it was possible to identify the Facebook user who had made the anonymous posts.

After a cease and desist letter was sent, demanding that he retract the allegations and cease and desist any further defamatory activities against her, the posts were removed.

It was a pleasure meeting you and exchanging legal knowledge and views. We were particularly impressed by your considerable experience, coupled with practical application.
Professional, trustworthy, thorough service.
This is the 3rd time I have used Huggins Law and I have always had a good experience, Joyce Owusu Afari, Vishal Amin and Ann Hines have always been easy to communicate with and it does feel like you have someone on your side, fighting your corner when things go askew. Always willing to recommend to anyone who will listen..

The service delivery from solicitor was excellent. They kept me informed and explained everything in easy language for me to understand. I had confidence in solicitor dealing with my case as they demonstrated knowledge in this particular area, and had my best interest as a client in mind. I will definitely recommend them to family and friends

my husband and I wanted to update our existing Wills that were with another solicitor, Huggins Lewis and Foskett were very helpful and made the experience very easy and straightforward, far more efficient than the solicitor we were with originally.

Jayne and Kay on reception and Lucy Morris were fabulous when we recently made our wills. We initially spoke to Jayne when we called, she was so lovely and very professional, she then referred us. The ladies on reception were professional and friendly with lovely smiles when we came in and Lucy made us feel relaxed at a difficult time for us and explained everything, we felt relaxed and relieved. Will not hesitate to recommend Lucy. Thank you, ladies.

We used HLF for a house purchase some years ago and found them responsive, efficient and happy to explain any issues we needed help with. As a result of our positive experience, we have recently used the firm to arrange a lease extension on a separate property. This, too, has proceeded smoothly with each step clearly explained. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
