This is an amazing video if you are an individual or business that wants to file a defamation lawsuit (libel or slander) especially for false statements of fact on yelp, Facebook, google, or ripoff report.

This video by IP attorney steve® discusses the top 15 defenses to defamation lawsuits, including an anti-SLAPP (cyberslapp) motion that seeks to suppress first amendment free speech.

There are many defenses to a defamation claim including but not limited to:

1. Truth - Truth is a defense against defamation
2. Opinion - you cannot sue someone merely for speaking their opinion
3. Litigation privilege - lawyers and potential litigants in the litigation process.
4. NY Times v. Sullivan (reckless disregard of the truth or the "serious doubts" test)
5. You cannot defame the dead
6. Civil participation in government affairs
7. Book, movie, and film reviews
8. Political speeches and political broadcasts (trump can call Hillary Clinton "Crooked Hillary")

There are more so please watch the video. If you like this, make sure to show me some love and LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE, or leave honest intelligent comments.

Thanks, Steve! Helpful and very upbeat which is not common with most law lectures. Appreciate your energy!

[susanarsoniadou]

A lot of people defame because they confuse their sick morbid wishes for someone with reality.

[hithere]

I had things said on the radio. I have been monitored by police and before I go anywhere, they talk to staff about me. I have been harrassed, etc. I called lawyers I have no warrants, no previous records. I said I have no problem going to court. It's ongoing.

Hi attorney Steve. I’ve been helping my brother with filing motions in his child custody case. His soon to be ex-wife filed a restraining order on me. In the purr documents she listed that I have felonies. Which I don’t. My question is, is that restraining order court document enough evidence and reason for me to sue her? The damages are to paint me as a horrible person that is unfit to help my disabled brother raise his daughter.

Someone owes me money and was not willing to pay, so I published our convo related to the money on Facebook to warn people about her, cause she's currently asking people for money for refugees in Haiti. She threatened to take me to court.

[thanhleusacuocsongmy]

Hello, let's say in this hypothetical scenario that I get sue for defamation but I'm too poor to hire an attorney to write response statements every time. Can I just ask the attorney to write a 1 time request to the court explain my situation and request a trial to prove my points. Would this be an option?

[Christabbaword]

I like to file defamation of character lawsuit but I do not have money besides social security.
Help please
9 years my business had no jobs

When you go into some place (in my case neighbourhood, city, every store, every shop in town, hair dresser, beauty salon, Caffee, Bank, Post, .) and as you enter suddenly People receive Phone calls and then acting strange towards You, hurting You in worst possible way, when not imidiately, then when You visit that place second time, and You don't know how to act, because You "just know", that not everyone received same "information" about You, but information that is working in particular case in that place in that Purpose for destroying me in that place....😐And You know that those Gossipers are People with Narcissistic traits who are envious and jelous of You because of something that " they" find better by You then by them...😦

[davidmartinez]

While watching would this other violations involved? While working?of one private time.

[DaRyteJuan]

Awesome video, Attorney Steve. I usually end up watching your videos a number of times. The info doesn’t always sink in from just the first time through. Might be interesting for you to do a video on the distinction between _“litigation privilege”_ (say pretty much anything) and *California Rules of Professional Conduct 3.3* “candor towards the tribunal.“

[ahamednishadh]

if a restaurant use some thing tasteless and anyone made a review in google maps after some months the review was deleted is there any chance to file a defamation case

[Rosesweet]

Assaulted four months ago at work. I'm at home healing. Staff at my place of employment are gossiping, slander, defamation on my character. It hurts because my assault was very scary and they are making fun of me. What should I do?
