Corinne M. Mullen, Esq.
About Corinne Mullen
Corinne M. Mullen is the founder of Mullen Law Firm and a Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney, certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. She is one of approximately 70 women in New Jersey to hold this certification and is among the top 1.5% of attorneys in the state recognized as civil trial specialists.
From the firm’s office in Hoboken, New Jersey, Corinne represents individuals, businesses, and digital creators across New Jersey, and serves clients located in New York. Her practice focuses on internet defamation, online reputation attacks, social media defamation, false online allegations, cyber harassment and cyber stalking, platform bans, and related reputation matters.
For more than 30 years, Corinne has built her practice on the legal challenges that arise when reputation, technology, and the First Amendment intersect. Her record includes a six-figure cyberstalking verdict and the dismissal of a defamation suit before trial through a strategic evidentiary brief.
Background and Experience
Before practicing law, Corinne was a journalist at NBC Network News in New York. That experience shapes how she approaches defamation and First Amendment matters today. She understands how publication decisions are made, how reporting actually works, and how speech functions in newsrooms and online. That perspective is unusual among defamation attorneys and directly informs her case strategy.
She has since served as a legal commentator for Fox Television, Court TV, and MSNBC, and her cases have been covered by The New York Times, the New Jersey Law Journal, and Entertainment Tonight. Corinne has also served as Faculty Lead and Senior Instructor at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College since 2002, where she trains practicing trial lawyers in advocacy and courtroom strategy.
