Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I was fired on Friday from my place of employment. A conversation took place between myself and a member of management while we were both assisting the same agent. Just before my termination process began I was made aware of what the reasons behind it were. Appearantly the member of management told my supervisor and a member of HR that I made statements that I know I did not make. I know of at least 3 people that heard the entire conversation, all of which say that at no point was I in the wrong, nor did I make the alleged statements. Do I stand a chance at a case of slander?

with an attorney who is appropriately experienced with and knowledgeable

regarding defamation law in the Commonwealth for further advice on

the matter.
