DEFAMATION, LIBEL AND SLANDER
Defamation is an area of law that provides a civil remedy when someone’s words end up causing injury or damage to your good reputation and/or livelihood. Libel is a written or published harmful statement, while slander is in the form of words spoken by the defendant. The tort of defamation includes both libel (written statements) and slander (spoken statements).
Marino Associates was successful in amicably resolving a recent defamation by implication lawsuit for our client. Our client received a confidential value and a retraction of the defamatory communication. I believe strong legal action is the best course of action for anyone who finds themselves in this type of circumstance.
