Austin Defamation Attorney
Employment matters frequently implicate not only the employment discrimination and retaliation laws discussed on our Website, but also issues of character and reputation that can sometimes be addressed through the avenues of a defamation claim. Defamation is a general term to describe injury or damage to a person’s name, reputation, or character. Your reputation as an individual and an employee is key to your success, and false accusations spread about you, whether relating to your employment or other areas of your life, can exact a heavy toll.
There are two basic forms of defamation: libel and slander. Libel refers to defamation through the printed work or graphical depictions. Slander generally refers to defamation through the spoken word.
