Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Connecticut
how do I file a lawsuit of deprivation of character
1 Answer from Attorneys
I believe you mean defamation of character. Defamation is the act of publicly making or distributing a false statement of fact about another person or business. The defamatory statement is libel if written and slander if spoken. Deprivation would mean that someone has deprived or take away your character. Based on the way your question is worded, my answer is as follows: Begin by collecting all the evidence you have that you have been defamed. Create a written, preferably typed, timeline of events. Then, and this is the most important step, proceed to scheduling a consultation with an attorney who handles civil litigation. YOU CANNOT HANDLE A LAWSUIT YOURSELF. You need to hire an attorney. Remember also, you get what you pay for.
