If you have been the victim of libel or slander and your reputation has been adversely affected, you may be entitled to damages. The law of defamation is concerned with protecting the reputations of businesses and individuals from the publication or utterance of false or misleading statements. Libel is written defamation and slander is verbal defamation. The expert defamation solicitors at McCartan Turkington Breen are available to help protect your reputation and to seek compensation. We offer a free, confidential and no obligation initial consultation. Contact us and let us know how we can help.

Digital and social media platforms have the potential to reach millions of people instantaneously and by their nature allow users to publish statements with a false sense of anonymity.
