\"\"5 things we advise our clients about social media use:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Be aware of it.<\/strong> Opposing counsel will look at your social media. Be mindful of everything that you post on any of your social media accounts and refrain from posting any information that might be relevant to your case. The American Bar Association reported in their annual \u201cLegal Technology Survey Report\u201d that \u201ce-discovery\u201d requests have increased significantly in recent years.<\/p>\n

2. Update Privacy Settings.<\/strong> Change all of your Social Media accounts to private. If you think they are already private, double check to make sure.<\/p>\n

3. The Danger of Tagged Photos.<\/strong> Keep in mind, any posts, pictures, etc. that you are tagged in, will not be hidden from everyone. Even if you\u2019re account is private. Posts you’re tagged in still appear in search, News Feed and other places on Facebook.<\/p>\n

4. Do not try and hide anything.<\/strong> If you are aware of something on your Social Media that could be potentially harmful to your case, we do not advise you to try and delete or hide it. Do the opposite! Notify our office instead. We can only help you, if we know about it. Deleting posts can be very harmful to your case and could lead to sanctions.<\/p>\n

5. Not everything is bad.<\/strong> Some things on Facebook can be helpful to your case. For example, if you were in a bad car accident, and you were tagged in a post about your hospital stay. This could be useful evidence for your case.<\/p>\n
