Invasion of Privacy Lawyers
Are You Suffering From an Invasion of Your Privacy?
Having your personal privacy violated can feel overwhelming—leading to emotional distress, reputational harm, and loss of control. At Minc Law, we understand how critical it is to protect your privacy. Our experienced invasion of privacy attorneys work tirelessly to hold violators accountable, remove harmful content, and restore your peace of mind.
What is Invasion of Privacy?
Invasion of privacy is a legal violation that intrudes upon an individual’s reasonable expectation of privacy. There are four main types of invasion of privacy recognized in most states:
- Intrusion Upon Seclusion
Physical or electronic intrusions into someone’s private space, such as hidden cameras or hacking personal devices. - Public Disclosure of Private Facts
Sharing private, non-newsworthy information—like medical records or personal photos—that is highly offensive to a reasonable person. - False Light
Misrepresenting someone publicly in a misleading way, such as publishing out-of-context images or stories. - Misappropriation of Name or Likeness
Using someone’s name, image, or identity for commercial purposes without their consent, such as in advertising or endorsements.
Common Examples of Invasion of Privacy:
- Hidden cameras in restrooms or changing rooms.
- Unauthorized leaks of intimate images.
- Misuse of someone’s identity for profit.
- Publicizing sensitive personal information.
If you’ve experienced any of these violations, contacting a skilled attorney promptly is essential to mitigate damage and safeguard your rights.
