In the fast-paced business world of New York City, a reputation can mean everything. When someone allegedly does something to injure your reputation, it can quickly turn into a serious legal matter.
At Nesenoff & Miltenberg, LLP, our lawyers have handled cases involving all types of defamation, libel and slander — representing both plaintiffs and defendants, depending on the situations involved. While the legal distinctions between these three legal terms are well defined, many clients do not understand which may apply in their unique situation:
- Defamation: Generally speaking, defamation involves a false statement made about a person that causes that person harm. This may include 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. Our law firm has also handled cases of libel over the Internet, often referred to as cyber defamation.
- Slander: Slander is a type of defamation that involves an untruthful oral statement.
