Unfortunately, there is no real quick fix. It is actually a very time consuming process, but one is this definitely necessary.
I started with a thorough backlink audit, identifying the good and bad links using a backlink check tool such as SEOMoz Open Site Explorer and good old hand done research.
Unfortunately this is not as easy as you may think. Some sites did not have contact information, so I had to do domain ownership searches.
I used a site called Domaintools.com. To try and save time and money, I had the client reach out to their original SEO company for all of the contact information; however, the company insisted that they did nothing wrong and would not provide anything. So I continued on.
When I finished I compiled an Excel spreadsheet highlighting the website address and date of my removal request. I then used this information to file a reconsideration request with Google outlining all of my removal requests and any problems I had encountered.
