Defamation
Defamation law, when applied properly, can be a powerful tool to fight back against unscrupulous parties who wield lies and slander to damage the reputations of business competitors and personal detractors. Unfortunately, abusive defamation lawsuits are also a favorite cudgel of powerful interests seeking to squelch open debate, silence critics, and bankrupt anyone who stands in their way.
KLLF attorneys have experience representing plaintiffs and defendants in defamation lawsuits and disputes. Our plaintiff-side defamation practice focuses on helping businesses and individuals protect their reputations against false and unfair attacks. On the defense side, we represent people and organizations who have been sued or threatened with suit over valid exercises of their free speech rights. In appropriate cases, we can help victims of frivolous libel and slander lawsuits not only defeat the claims against them in court, but also recover the attorneys’ fees expended to fight such claims. We believe that no one should face financial ruin for speaking truth to power.
