Whether Written or Spoken, False Statements
Cause Real Injury.
Our lawyers recognize that any manifestation of defamation can damage a person’s reputation. To get a better grasp on your case, it is helpful to recognize the ways that the law differentiates defamatory content: by the mediums with which those statements were made.
Written defamatory content, as one would commonly see on business review sites and blogs, is considered libelous. Defamatory statements, made by a competitor or former employee for example, are considered slander. Due to the fact that written content theoretically remains in public longer than verbal statements, libelous material is seen by most courts as more harmful than slanderous remarks.
We understand that whichever form of defamation you may be experiencing is important to remedy as soon as possible. The attorneys at Lewis & Lin are experienced in representing both individuals and businesses to remedy their reputation and seek potential damages.
