I'm considering a defamation lawsuit against a relative. While I was with family, they made a false police call saying I was suicidal, and then took my daughter away and said if I didn't get a "mental evaluation" that I couldn't have her back. Also, the following 2 days, another fake police report was made saying that I slashed tires....which was a lie. And another for stealing (but there's no proof). And she tried to extort money from me. Taking advantage of me. As you can see, it's pretty messed up. But I think that I should but I want to sue for the max.
There is also felony false reporting, so it's a criminal case, too. Make sure your reports are iron clad. You can use them in your civil case.
Your video is very helpful! I am so thankful I kept searching and found this.
Thanks ! Really useful to know. I figured it would be much more expensive but that’s not bad
TY for explaining. Haven't been sure if doing so or trying to appeal would be better financially...instead of while trying to stand up for myself going into a good bit of debt just to do so.
Excellent info for filing a defamation lawsuits.
Thanks so much. This really gave me a lot of information I needed to represent myself or gather evidence for an attorney. I'm a single mother going through defamation and loosing property and shame and distress in my personal life.
Were you successful? My story sounds similar to yours
Helpful thank you 🙏

Glad it was helpful!
So helpful, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Great video. Thank you
You bet
Im not considering a lawsuit at all but this is interesting and good to know
Helpful thank you i
I think also knowing how much people got on average would be good to know.
i have a question. i am being slandered by this hacker who stole my gmail and is using my number to call and text people pretending to be me. she is without trying to frame me as a stalker as she is the stalker! do i have anything to stand on?
wow Pre-ad was full volume and this post barely audible ?
I had a person write a blog that claimed I faked having cancer to make money and that I stole money from a memorial project. Do you handle cases in NJ?
Can you sue person/people for online defamation, clearing your reputation and monetary award if they don’t have money? Thank you.
is defamation in civil or Supreme Court?I am trying to file but when I had went to civil the lady had told me its supreme. is this correct? please someone let me know.
Do you practice in Florida? This is against an online newspaper. Or do you know an good attorney that you would recommend?
Can the costs for an attorney and filing be adding as damages from the defamation?
Great information and video. When you mention "defamation" do you also include slander as well? You speak a lot about online libel (written statements) but do you represent people who've been slandered as well? Thanks!
Thanks for the question @Cory. Since Minc Law focuses primarily on online defamation, since our expertise in this area makes us different from other law firms and its where we add the most value for clients, we generally don't take on cases that involve non-internet related matters. This would include slander cases.
However, we will consider and make exceptions for cases/clients located in the same state as our home office (Ohio). Or a situation where a client wants us to come on as a consultant for their local lawyer, in order to supplement their local lawyer's experience and expertise in this area of law. Otherwise, no.
@@MincLaw Very good! Thanks for the info.
@Koriander Yander , thank you for the question. The answer is potential. Punitive damages and attorneys fees can be requested as part of any verdict and awarded by the jury. However, there is a high bar to prove damages. You must show actual malice.
I have alopecia and my front teeth went missing since COVID. I filled out a form the best of my ability and had suffered the worse any woman could ever imagine and they are still taking me in for testing.And social services knew I was in need of financial benefits and they only gave me food stamps and medical insurance. I feel that I have been sabotage by the system and had been homeless and called 211 a few times before I was helped. A few months after, I started to suffer fibromyalgia. I was born premature so I was born disabled. When a human has experienced a disability and then cures they would still need trauma treatment. And it's a civil violation to have lead a civilian on in the scene where they think it's ok to settle in order to be a part of a community and are still in dangers because the suffered already. The system promised them that the ground they live on is a safe haven and they still suffered harm. To be immune to a disease or more than one disease is disability on both parties so the situation should be handled with patience and compassion especially if it is God who created or is planning to create us as human beans and his or her love for us is going to be unconditional. To live a miracle can happen to any of us and it's not right to hate, we should just try our best to be happy for one another and wait our turn. The check is never enough to live comfortably anyways.
Someone called me gay while playing overwatch. Can I sue them for defamation?

Do I have a valid case for defamation lawsuit against an QME doctor not because I disagree with his negative report but because he slander my character on legal document and favoring the insurance company and the defense attorney by giving a incorrectly opinion damage my whole personal injury case.
Can an independent party sue for defamation if a malicious rumor was spread in the workplace causing a loss of employment as well as unlawful workplace investigation?
hi Im thinking off writing a book and if I do its 100 percent certain, that I will end up with a defamamtion law suit! what I say is true and in the public interest! but I'm curious what sort off damages - I'm not worried about money - (I was leave without money, by such people) so if I have no money too pay damages! will they put me in jail? or what can they do?
BUT how do i prove it?
Thank you for the information. If someone wants to sue your business because you said for them to go away and stop trying to con you. They half to have the funds to even do so? Or are frivolous lawsuits cheaper for people to pursue?
Have to have*
If a police officer made inflammatory comments to their department prior to a criminal investigation which has resulted in an individual needing to pay 20k in civil court to protect minors…. Should that police officer be brought up on slander and liable charges if the police officer wrote a character reference indicating that they said x, y, and z to other department officials?
Does it have to be an online threat. Can it be the neighbor shouting it out load as you walk by so the other neighbors can hear? I don't want to say the words being used i feel pain already mentioning this.
What if you can’t afford it but have a case ?
Do you practice in MA?
How do you represent clients in Nevada?
What about people's going around saying you have bad thing wrong with you and those things were not truth and it ruined my reputation
Id like to make a FOIA request, and a request for discovery, John Doe Discovery. Can I do that, or enjoin myself to a class action defamation case?
Hello! I’m a minor thinking of suing for defamation and emotional distress stemming from bullying. I’m not sure what steps to take and if it would be worth it, the emotional turmoil that i’ve suffered and effect on my school and social life has been great. Should I wait it out or open a case?
Can I ask what would the situation be if the info that been posted is actually true? Content of abuse or gas lighting??
If your behavior is the reflection of if you think a person can afford to sue you or not is your first mistake. It might cause you to behave in a way that could make the case brought forth against you worst.
I was accused of taking a pregnancy test from a dollar tree. I walked inside to store, noticed the lines were ridiculously long and walked right back out because I was in a hurry. The store manager followed me on my way out outside the store, stood by the door and stated loudly, in the middle of a busy parking lot, “next time you take a pregnancy test from my store, make sure you pay for it!”. After figuring out that property wasn’t taken, there was still no apology, it was super humiliating.
That sounds terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that happened.
Couldn’t you just go back to the store, explain that you didn’t steal anything, and want ask for an apology because of how humiliating it was?
@@pikira2246 Once something like that is said, you can't undo it. Every person who heard this may recognize the woman in a different venue and whisper to a friend, That's the woman who got caught stealing a pregnancy test. And on and on. I wouldn't ask for an apology. I'd sue for slander.
You may not be able to prove monetary damages, but you could sue for a PUBLIC apology, something that made it into the local media so that everyone in the area is apprised of what really happened.
Trying to get a defamation of character lawsuit started Mt sister falsely accused me of murder and conspiracy to commit murder Police harassment over this was so bad I lost my job and place to live . Was in drug rehab when Mom died so I have records that prove my innocent
Im wondering

@@MincLaw Person defame to me to high ranking state and federal officials. I can prove he sent letters and that the statements he made were false. I'm not sure how to prove damages since the government is never going to admit these letters caused me to get additional screening at the TSA or placed on some kind of government list.
I NEED YOUR HELP
15,000 ?? That's outrageous
Excellent...
Thank you! Cheers!
What's the average amount of money people who sue get? I mean how many people got $15 grand that they would just pay out of pocket?
I think its one of the reasons why I think defamation should be abolished or considerably re-evaluated. If you fighting against a person who has more resources than you, its very hard to win your case. You could be completely on the right, but without the money, in the eyes of the law you could very well be wrong.
7:42 this,…right here.
Wow they will get away with the harm they caused because we can't afford to sue
That’s sucky
5:40 16k. Live your life
I am a homeless man living in my van trying to start a small business to get on my feet but being homeless in a van I get told to move by police often and there is a city council member of my town that will online shame me and publicly post the details of the information from the police scanner I'm in a small town so word gets around and makes me look bad when all I'm trying to do is park and end my day
You need too leave that town ASAP and go elsewhere.
How is your situation these days? Are you still in need of help?
I said some bad things from my stealth account she claims she’d called the cops
but yet going in front of a judge just costs one price
It's not fair poor people can't stop someone from telling lies about them, even when it's all on text by the third party and I have proof by doctors it's all lies! I have severe depression and its made it so much worse, the panic attacks from just thinking about the third party believing all the lies as she said she did is making life so hard, and there is nothing I can do about it.
I was told by several defamation attorneys it usually costs about $100k when all is said and done...
Could I not just represent myself in court to safe money
Sir it is making me losing my money and business. And its a big deal to me. And big business
👍
i need a lawyer asap
It’s best to settle it outside of court. Use litigation as a weapon. Do what you need to do and let me try to sue you.
Can you sue somebody for making a voodoo doll of you??
Can you represent me?
What about youtube? Every night ? You have lies spread ?
DON'T BE SUING ME SOMEONE SHOULD BE SUING NORA ELLA CARRIZALES THE HACKER
🎖Subbed🎖
So if you’re poor and can’t afford to sue for trashing your name, you just have to suck it up.
Basically lol
@@Mercifulkingdom well that’s just sad.
@@jcfc8197 I know right. What a world to live in.
@@Mercifulkingdom sad that the rich never think of the poor. I’d rather be poor, humble and kind, then rich. I just wish justice served both sides. I will just have to be my own lawyer.
