Reputation Management from the Court Room

It started out as something simple. You were late to a meeting,
decided that the speed limit was insufficient by 15 – 20 miles per hour
so you created your speed limit in the comfort of your car.

As you get off the interstate you notice a colorful display in your
rear view mirror so you slow down. The police officer gives you that
emotionless authoritative glare that they practice in the mirror then
hands you a ticket, wishes you a pleasant day (while knowing very well
that all hopes off that have been erased), then proceeds to continue
his journey keeping the streets safe from speeders and the county’s
revenue safe from depletion.

However, the police officer may have handed you more than a speeding ticket. What he may have actually given you was a reputation management problem.

With more municipalities publishing public records online, benign legal matters like a speeding ticket can turn into irritating online reputation management
issues. Now, when someone Google’s your name, they may see a docket
that reads something like “The State of Florida vs. John Smith” or
“Orange County vs. John Smith”.

Many people will see that and pass judgment without reading the case. If such a reputation management problem has occurred with you, this can simply be handled using the same techniques that push back more damaging content.
