Libel and Slander Lawyers

Defamation is the issuance of a false statement about another person, which causes that person to suffer harm. Slander involves the making of defamatory statements by a transitory (non-fixed) representation, usually an oral (spoken) representation. Libel involves the making of defamatory statements in a printed or fixed medium, such as a magazine or newspaper. The law recognizes that every person has the right to protect his/her reputation from being damaged by false statements made against them. Representing clients in this highly specialized area of law involves an understanding of your interests and how to secure the best possible outcome.
