I am such an attorney, and as such can tell you that defamation is a disfavored cause of action, very hard to prove and very hard to recover damages for. If you want an honest, hard nosed evaluation of your case, I'd be happy to consult with you for a half an hour at no charge and let you know if there's anything that might actualy win in court. If you do have a viable case, we can then discuss whether you would like to retain me. My phone number is in the LawGuru profile.

This site normally is for questions and not referrals. If you want to state the facts of your case to get an opinion as to what you can do, one of the attorneys from this site will answer your questions. Otherwise, you need to contact attorneys who list experience in this area of your interest. Go to their web sites to see what linformation you can get there. Look at prior responses on this site as to how to find an attorney. Remember, if you hire an attorney on a per hour basis [this type of case is normally on a contigency fee basis], the higher his/her overhead the higher the hourly rate [rents are higher in S.F so attorney charges are higher also].
