AboutCharles W. Field Expertise Georgia: I have a general civil practice in Georgia. I represent mostly individuals and small businesses. I perform a wide variety of legal services, from wills to business and personal litigation. I have a large personal injury practice.
Question Is it possible to charge someone with defamation of character?
If so, what type of a lawyer would I need for something like this?
Thank you!
Answer It certainly is possible to sue someone for defamation. You need to call around for a consultation with a local attorney. I would suggest that you start with attorneys who handle personal injury cases, since those are torts, as is defamation. If the PI attorney doesn't handle these cases, surely, he/she can refer you to someone who does.
