Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
I recently discovered that a former employer is saying negative things about me when new prospective employers call to get references. What are my rights? Do I have any legal recourse?

Yes, such a systematic practice on the part of your employer with
respect to giving such references might possibly give rise to a viable
claim for defamation on your part, depending upon the other relevant facts which
necessarily must be considered in the matter.
