Re: occupation libel?
Assuming that the information is untrue, and that it is damaging to your reputation, then it seems as if you may have a valid defamation claim.
It is impossible to say for sure without getting specific facts. Feel free to contact us for a no-charge initial consultation.
Re: occupation libel?
If demonstrably false statements are made that damage you, yes, you would have grounds to sue. It would be in your best interests to get the material removed. I would suggest you start with having your attorney send a demand letter with all your requirements, and see if that solves the problem to your satisfaction. If not, you have shown a good faith effort to resolve, which would make your case stronger. Feel free to contact me if serious about getting some legal help here.
