Proofig – the Kolodkin-Gal family business

“Don’t let online controversies and aggressive blogs easily ruin
everything you’ve worked for to build your reputation […] Whether the image issue is innocent or intentional, the outcome is still the same. Bloggers will attack that publication with image issues, which will damage your reputation and may even lead to a costly investigation.
We are here to help you prevent this. I am Dr. Dror Kolodkin Gal, […] the founder of Proofig.”
