Has Someone Attacked Your Reputation? We Can Help.

Just because the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech does not mean individuals cannot face consequences for the things they say ― especially if their statements are false and harmful to others.

Fortunately, New York defamation laws provide you with protection and legal recourse should you suffer damages after someone attacks your reputation, business or standing in the community by making false statements.

Whether you have been defamed through the written word (libel) or though oral statements (slander), Luibrand Law Firm, PLLC, can help. With more than three decades of legal experience, attorney Kevin Luibrand has successfully represented several individuals in defamation suits. He understands the nuances of New York defamation law, and he will use this knowledge to help get you the justice you deserve. He can also help if you have been wrongfully accused of defaming someone else.

When your case is too important to trust to just anyone, you need a nationally recognized attorney ― you need Kevin Luibrand. In fact, he was selected as one of the Top 100 trial attorneys in the U.S. from 2014 – 2018 by The National Trial Lawyers.

Defamation In New York: The Basics

While proving defamation can vary depending on the circumstances ― particularly if you are a public figure ― the basic elements of a claim include:

  • A statement that is false or defamatory, but presented as fact
  • The statement is about you
  • The statement is published to a third party, either through print or speech
  • The statement results in injury to you, such as a lost job or business opportunity

The simple truth is that words have power. Whether you are a businessperson, political candidate, doctor, nurse, teacher or in any other profession, false statements can irreparably damage your career. So you need to fight back and protect your reputation when someone defames you.
