Need help with what type of attorney to use...

[mrgonzo]

What is the name of your state? Florida

hello, I need to hire an attorney who has knowledge of what is legal to post online (or offline for that matter).

So an attorney who for example knows if social security numbers online are legal, signatures, photographs, etc.; I am looking for a type of attorney who has a broad general knowledge of these legalities.

I am unsure what field or type of attorney I should look for that would best be able to help me. Any help would be appreciated! thanks.

You may be best served by an attorney who is experienced in publishing law. These attorneys, who work primarily with writers, specialize in laws like invasion of privacy, defamation, pornography, obscenity, and copyright infringement - all areas of concern for a writer.

Because the cost of defending against a lawsuit is often a great deal more than preventing a lawsuit in the first place, it is wise to spend a little up front and seek the advice of an attorney prior to publishing.

Good luck.

Thanks for the help Quincy,

I will try to find a publishing attorney; from what you described that is exactly what I need.
