Re: defimation of character

First of all, where are you? Suits based on slander or
libel are commonly brought in court (sometimes as
counterclaims). Be aware that the usual defense to
defamation is truth. Statements in court or to police
officers may or may not be qualifiedly or absolutely
privileged, depending on the circumstances. In situations
where the alleged defamer claims refuge in qualified
privilege, you may have to make a greater showing to prove
defamation. In addition to claims for defamation, you may
have had your rights to privacy invaded as well and could
bring other claims. Consult a qualified attorney in your
state to get further information. Thanks www.marzeclaw.com
