If you neg people and then claim responsibility then yes, it may be possible.

As you are a service provider and some one paid you to do it.. then why not just say that you can remove it for a cost... that would be fair in my opinion and you get a bit more in the bank lol
 
If he can prove a loss of income because of an action you took, then he has every right to sue, all he has to do is prove damages or say he had damages in order to bring a lawsuit against you. He will have to prove it and he can tie you up in court which will have a cost to you.

Just telling you, anyone can bring a lawsuit, depending on the damages it might go to arbitration, but in the end if it goes to court the judge will decide. He may or may not see things your way, you just never know. Best is to go out of your way to clean it up, save yourself a headache and update your disclaimer.

First, they have to prove what SEO is and what is the purpose of links in this equation . . . Ask them to explain this to the judge before asking you any questions.

It will be fun to watch :)

Second, their lawyer would need cold hard facts from Google that says: "Yes . . . Link building will help you improve your rankings, bad links will do the opposite". Good luck getting Google to admit anything about that. Heck good luck contacting Google.

My point is there is no way you can lose a case for something that can't be proven.

nice trippins
 
Just think in a logical way. Instead of saying it's "negative seo". You can say that you was active in some sites and you tried to mention his site as you find it beautiful :p
