Jones + Associates recently assisted a journalist in their successful defamation claim against a major media outlet.
The relevant media outlet aired a story nationally which falsely suggested our client was involved in concerning and illegal behaviours.
Given the programs assertions were provably false, the outlet agreed to resolve the matter without the need for formal defamation proceedings.
After conducting negotiations with the outlet’s legal representatives, Jones + Associates was able to secure an on-air retraction and apology as well as other forms of relief on behalf of our client.
Whilst understandably disappointed and embarrassed at having their name and reputation falsely smeared, our client was happy with the outcome achieved on their behalf and wishes to put the matter behind them.
