Is This Legal?



Lets see....

Insurance companies have moar money then God.

Man starts site with a domain name, Allstateinsurancesucks.com or org or whatever it is. To lazy right now to get the proper ext.

Site is full of RANT and claims of...how much Allstate insurance SUCKS...

The site has been up for years.

Insurance companies have some of the best attorneys around, highly skilled yet the site remains.

I say go for it and if he tries to fuck with you tell him you'll just file a claim with your insurance company and let them defend you. = )
 
Best not to do any the actual reviews yourself. Buy the domain name, hire out some foreign labor to blast the site full of poor comments. Now you have a "legal", "review" site.
 
Okay. For a semi-serious response.

From what I remember from my contracts class, if a professional promises to do something very specific, it becomes a contract, and failure to make good on those promises becomes a breach of contract.

There is a famous case where a plaintiff has a scarred/bad hand and goes to see a physician. The physician promised the plaintiff a "perfect hand" and a "100% functioning hand." The physician failed to deliver the perfect hand. The plaintiff was able to sue to recover damages, but I can't remember if the cause of action was for breach of contract or malpractice, or both.

If the attorney made very specific promises and didn't deliver, you may have a cause of action. I'm not sure. You may have to consult an equally incompetent attorney for an answer. Good luck bros.
 
This idea brought to you, ironically, by a lawyer friend of mine who wanted to set up her name as a website, only to find that apparently a fairly popular starlet in the odd insertion niche uses that name as a stage name -- so any time you go looking for my friend, somewhere between her Facebook page and her LinkedIn profile is some chick with a Budweiser can up her ass. If that can be done accidentally, then it can be done on purpose.

1) Buy HisName.com

2) Forward to hardcore gay bondage porn site

3) Use domain forwarding w/masking to create custom titles and description. Use the guy's name and the city, but not "lawyer" or anything like it in the title. Write the description to sound like a porn site disclaimer, "...direct inquiries to Shithead's Name, City, President & CEO of StretchThatSphincter.com"

4) Links links links

5) With any luck it comes up in the SERPs any time someone searches for him, whether as a lawyer, social network searches etc.

Do that, and you've never explicitly said that he was the VP of Ramrodding at Fred's Fist-O-Rama, but he has issues shaking the image.

This vendetta seems to be about you settling a score with the lawyer, and not about helping your mother. How would tarnishing his name help her? More to the point, the real issue is getting your father to pay her, which he apparently hasn't.

She needs a new, competent lawyer and I believe she could also sue to get her legal fees paid. BTW, lawyers don't necessarily rely on their websites to drive business. They get work through referrals a lot.
 
Register hisname.com with fake whois info, in a separate account accessed only by proxy, with prepaid credit card, etc ( Generate a Random Name - Fake Name Generator )

Outrank him, try not to defame (only state fact), but in the end know you're safe from getting caught (don't state any facts that can be traced to you or your mom). Eventually the domain will be taken away, if for nothing other than registering with fake info, but in the meantime you could avenge your mom by costing him business.
