Legal Question in Civil Litigation in South Carolina
Slander & False Accusations of Theft
I have been accused of stealing
money from a (well known franchise)
restaurant by their employees -
telling friends & business associates
of mine that they have me on
surveillance tape stealing. This is
impossible because I watched one of
their employees pocket the money-
after we paid for our meal. Which lets
me know there isn't a tape. On top of
the fact that i am not a thief and did
not commit this awful crime. How do
I go about handling this legally? Do I
have a case?
Thanks!

You may indeed have a case. However, defamation cases are difficult and are not handled on a contingency fee basis. A lawyer will charge you hourly.
