Find a deepfake / NCII lawyer
Do the free steps first — you may not need to pay anyone. Use StopNCII (or NCMEC’s Take It Down if you were under 18) and each platform’s NCII form. A lawyer is for what those can’t do: a civil suit under the TAKE IT DOWN Act / DEFIANCE Act or state law, injunctions, and going after the person who made or spread it. The firms below are real and handle these cases — but this list is editorial and unpaid: no referral fees, no ranking for money. Verify any lawyer’s standing with your state bar before you hire.
Start here — free, no lawyer needed
