Dorrian Horsey

Attorney

Dorrian knows that the answer to Shakespeare’s rhetorical question, “What’s in a name?” has never carried as much significance as it does in today’s digital world. On a daily basis, she works with individuals and businesses who have learned the hard way that their good name and reputation are shaped largely by content that can be easily accessed by anyone in the world with a quick online search. These clients have suffered the devastating emotional and financial impact of negative search results and trust Dorrian to work on their behalf as a zealous and empathetic advocate with the dedication and experience necessary to help them reclaim their good name online. She listens to her clients’ concerns and provides efficient and responsive representation that spans the defamation and content removal spectrum. She is a skilled advocate in any forum from litigating boldly against contentious defendants to engaging in the nuanced persuasion of news publications, social media platforms and online search engines to achieve results in her clients’ best interests.

Dorrian brings a wealth of litigation and communications law experience to Minc Law’s Internet Defamation practice. She has established a track record for successfully representing clients before state and federal courts as well as various administrative agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission. Dorrian was drawn to the niche area of Internet defamation as a natural result of her interest and knowledge in technology and her passion for helping people victimized by it. The emotional distress experienced by her clients as a result of online defamation drove her to complete additional training in software engineering to better understand how websites operate from both the technical and legal perspectives.

Dorrian represents clients around the country and is licensed to practice in two states. She focuses her practice on representing individuals and businesses in matters pertaining to defamation and online privacy, cyberbullying, fake reviews, competitor and disgruntled ex-employee attacks, DMCA/copyright issues, and content removal from numerous online platforms, including Google, Yelp, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Ripoff Report, blogs, She’s A Homewrecker, The Dirty, various review websites and numerous other “shaming” websites that allow users to post negative content about individuals and businesses online. Her work has resulted in permanent removal of defamatory and disparaging content from the Internet; identification of Internet users who hide behind anonymous and pseudonymous user names; and the deindexing of results from search engines. In addition to her litigation practice, Dorrian has successfully convinced news organizations, websites, social media outlets and other online information-sharing platforms to remove clients’ criminal history, sexual history, and other reputation destroying, embarrassing or false content.

Dorrian is an avid reader, writer and runner who recently expanded her horizons to take up guitar lessons.

Dorrian’s Client Testimonials

See What Our Clients Have To Say.

We recently had the opportunity to work with Ms. Dorian Horsey and Ms. Susan Jacobsen at Minc Law. They successfully removed the impersonation accounts on social media after the companies ignored our initial requests. Luckily we hired them. Not only were they patient and kind but they were very thorough and determined to resolve the issue. We are very grateful to them and highly recommend these attorneys.

HIGHLY recommend! Look no further. They got the job DONE for me in 3.5 months where others could not. Other organizations (not attorneys) are total scams that cost thousands of dollars and they make matters worse!! I worked with Dorrian Horsey and mission accomplished! I am forever grateful for her. I would not think twice. Call them. They will help you. I promise. It is the best decision that I have ever made and their cost is VERY reasonable.

Dorrian Horsey went ABOVE & BEYOND to get a negative article removed about me. It was on the internet and I have been living in fear for OVER 20 years worrying that a potential employer would find out about my past. I hired Reputation Defender who totally made matters worse and put my negative article first on the internet? What a waste of money!! Then I contacted a place in Canada and it took 6 months with 0 progress. I called Michael Hennenberg, who was an attorney in Mayfield Heights and he HIGHLY recommended Minc, LLC. I was assigned to Dorrian and she got the job DONE in 3.5 months!! And it was the delay of the newspaper getting back to her. I am relieved. Honestly, she is my guardian angel who answered my prayers. Money well spent and it did NOT break the bank like Reputation Defender who made matters WORSE. That organization is a SCAM and needs to be shut down by the Better Business Bureau. The best decision that I have made in my life is to call Minc. I would HIGHLY recommend

Quick, efficient and professional. We appreciate Ms. Horsey and her abilities. Thank you!

I was glad I found Minc Law. Attorney Dorrain did an amazing job. She was quick and easy to communicate with. She listened and understood the situation very clear. Attorney Dorrain knew what I wanted and from there she didn’t hesitate to take actions and fulfilled every request I made. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure to work with you.

Absolutely solved my problem, quick and just as promised. Some have mentioned the cost but I thought it was very fair and a much better result than using a service that claims to drive search results down on Google only to have it inch back to the top in 6 months. With Minc it is removed not driven down. These guys took it off the internet for less $. Completely satisfied.

Pleased I. C.
