In this digital age, lawyers will investigate or gather evidence anywhere, including your social media. As a result, you should be cognizant of your social media use. Tweets, posts, e-mails, pictures, and videos may be used against you. Exercise caution by: Limiting your privacy settings; Not accepting friend requests from anyone you do not know; Limiting your electronic communications to people you know and can verify. If a case has been filed, let your attorney know of things on your social media accounts that may hurt you, but get your attorney's advice about whether to delete anything, as there may be restrictions imposed by the Court once a case is filed.
