Slander and Libel
To prevail in a defamation lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant published a defamatory statement to a third party. Both written and oral statements may constitute publication. Defamatory statements that are spoken form the basis for a slander lawsuit whereas written defamatory statements form the basis for a libel lawsuit. Our civil defense attorneys represent individuals and businesses accused of slander and libel.
