Defamation & Slander



Even though the First Amendment may grant us the freedom of speech, it does not protect defamation and slander. The First Amendment in no way protects people from facing the consequences of what they say. This is especially true when a person makes harmful or false statements – spoken or in writing – about others. Fortunately, laws provide legal recourse and protections should you happen to suffer damages when another person makes false statements that attack your business, reputation, or community standing.

If you believe that your reputation had been damaged and you have been defamed, Bracken Law Firm is here to help you. Our dedicated attorneys have decades of experience working with clients who have been defamed through oral statements (slander) as well as by written word (libel). Our expert experience allows us to understand the nuances of defamation law, and we will utilize that expertise to help you obtain the justice that you deserve. We can also assist you if you have been wrongly accused of defaming another person.

Defamation cases are often highly complex, and you should not trust your case to just anyone. Bracken Law Firm has the skills, expertise, and dedication to win your case.
