    Post: slander and libel

    Posted by Kelly Anne on 3/29/05


    I was fired from coaching a high school sport because
    administration had concerns about my leadership. In
    truth, none of the concerns administration brought up were
    true, they were things that a parent had persistently
    complained about for 2 years. The parent blatantly lied
    and formed a conspiracy (and successfully got a few other
    parents to join him) to get me fired. The parent made a
    satement in the bleachers of a game stating that I had
    spent all of the teams fundraising money at a local
    tavern. What can I do?
    1) He made a defamatory/false statement
    2) I have a witness (third party) who will attest to the
    fact that this person stated the lie.
    3) It was about my profession
    4) I was terminated for concerns issued by this parent and
    am losing future income of approximately $300,000.
    Is there a lawyer in Illinois that can take this case?
