Hacker? or Lawyers?

OK, so I'm new here, so firstly i would like to say hello!


To the point though...

Lets say some one had information or content on their website which was damaging to ones profile.

You knew you could seek legal advice to get it removed, however this may not be the most time/cost effective.

Your' second option is to get a hacker to remove this content or whatever happens in teh digital hacking world.

What has a higher price or effort factor involved?

Getting a hacker to do it would be illegal, risky, costly, and not fool proof. So a lawyer would be the best option.

If you take away the illegal aspect of it, it's the same as being a lawyer.

Or you can just ask them to remove such info.

If just asking was going to work I don't think he'd need a lawyer or hacker. Also, a lawyer might be costly but hiring a hacker would probably cost near as much.
