Libel And Slander
Can I sue someone who says or writes something defamatory about me?

In order to prove defamation, you have to prove that what was said or written about you was false. If the information is true, or if you consented to publication of the material, you will not have a case. However, you may bring an action for libel or slander if the comments are so reprehensible and false that they affect your reputation in the community or cast aspersions on you. Consult a libel and slander attorney to best evaluate your claim.
