Slander is actionable if what is said is false. If you spoke the truth, then that is a defense to a claim for slander. Most attorneys will not take cases on a contingent fee basis unless there are adequate damages and a reliable source of money (usually insurance policy) to pay for those damages. So, my guess is that: (1) it will be difficult for the the person to prove slander; (2) the damages are negligible, (3) collecting any money from you is too unlikely; and (4) a lawsuit will not occur.
