Defamation and Libel Litigation

Defamation occurs when a statement impacts a person’s reputation; a defamatory expression tends to lower an individual in the estimation of right-thinking members of society, and is presumed to be false. Libel is defamation that occurs in print (in books, articles, on websites or blogs, Facebook posts, tweets or Youtube videos) or within radio or television broadcasts.
