Defamation Attorney in Cleveland, OH

Defamation is an oral or written falsehood that damages someone's reputation — spoken defamation is called slander, and written defamation is called libel. Defamation is a civil matter in Ohio, not a criminal one, and courts have to balance one person's right to free speech against another's right not to be defamed, which is exactly why Cleveland-area defamation cases benefit from experienced counsel on either side of the dispute.

Campbell Perry Law represents Cleveland-area clients on both sides of defamation disputes, whether the false statement was spoken, printed, or posted online.
