Although the legal distinctions between the following three legal concepts are well defined, many clients do not understand which may apply to their individual circumstances:

• Defamation: Defamation involves a flase statement made about a person that causes that individual harm. Commonly, this includes attacks to a person’s professional character or standing.
• Libel: Libel is written defamation, including words that are printed in a newspaper or other source.
  Additionally, our law firm handles cyber defamation cases.
• Slander: Slander is a form of defamation that involves an untruthful oral statement.
