How do I find out the statute of limitations in my state?

Each state has its own deadline for filing a defamation claim, which can significantly affect your case. You can use our Statute of Limitations by State Chart here to check the timeframe applicable to your location. Keep in mind, legal nuances can impact how the statute is calculated.

How can I prove defamation?

To prove defamation, you generally need to establish that a false statement was made, that it was published to a third party, and that it caused harm to your reputation. In some cases, demonstrating negligence or actual malice may also be necessary.

Defamation refers to the act of making false statements about someone that damages their reputation. This can take the form of slander (spoken defamatory statements) or libel (written defamatory statements).

How and How Often Do You Communicate With Your Clients?

This often depends on your preference. Some clients like to discuss each and every aspect of the case, as well as all potential strategies and options. Other clients simply prefer an email update every now and again, or a phone call when an important decision must be made or something happens in a case. We try to cater to your preferences. However, communication is one of the most important things to a strong attorney-client relationship and having you, as our client, being well informed of all the potential benefits and risks associated with a certain course of action. As a result, no matter your preference, we will do our best to ensure you know exactly where you stand under the circumstances.
