"Someone is going around the neighborhood issuing defamatory statements about you and you're concerned that it's going to harm your reputation and cause you harm with respect to your occupation. Hello, I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the question how to prove defamation of character claim. It's important to know that defamation is simply defined as a false statement. There are two types of defamation. There's the slander variety, which is verbal or spoken, and there is the libel, L I B E L, which is the written variety. And basically what's involved is that a false statement is being made about you to a third person that's causing you harm, that is subjecting you to ridicule, lessening your reputation or somehow diminishing your ability to engage in your occupation. This is a very comprehensive and complex area of the law, and if you are serious about suing for defamation, you want to strongly consider hiring a lawyer that specializes in this area. Not just any lawyer, but a lawyer that specializes in this area because there are issues such as freedom of speech and other defenses available that may cause you a lot of grief if you just file a claim and you don't have a valid claim. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for watching."
