Defamation Law

What is defamation?

In general terms, defamation is defined as a false and unprivileged statement that is clearly damaging to someone’s reputation and published “with fault,” meaning as a result of negligence or malice. Specific state laws often define defamation in specific ways. Slander, for example, is seen as spoken defamation whereas Libel, on the other hand, is written defamation. Only a proper Libel Lawyer worth his salt should handle your case for the best outcome.
