Ashley I Kissinger

I only represent defendants in libel cases, such as website operators, newspapers, television and radio broadcasters, magazines, newsletter publishers, etc. I also handle invasion of privacy, copyright, and related First Amendment cases. I conduct prepublication review for my clients. I defend journalists and media companies who are subpoenaed to provide information in others' litigation. I advise clients on access issues (open records and open meetings)

I help startup websites assess the level of legal risk posed by the content posted to their websites (including content posted by others). I defend anonymous commenters whose identities are sought by subpoenas and other legal process, and I represent the websites to which they post. I represent websites operated by newspapers, magazines, broadcasters and other content publishers. In sum: anonymous speech, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, defamation, invasion of privacy, copyright
