Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New Jersey

Re: Posting pictures online without my consent

I am sorry that has happened to you.

Depending on all the facts, you may have a number of actions to pursue as a result of the company's actions. First, by using your photo without consent, they invaded your privacy and have cast you in a "false light." False light basically means they made you look bad and the image they portrayed is untrue. Also, by using your photo to advertise their company, they "commercially appropriated" your likeness without compensation. I have handled similar cases such as yours and would be willing to consult with you by phone in more detail. Please contact me if you would like additional information. I need to ask you a number of questions about how the company obtained your photo to properly advise you.
