Defamation Legal Steps South Carolina

Hi Hannah,
In cases of defamation, it's often recommended to first ask the person to stop spreading false information. A written request can serve as evidence if the matter escalates.
May I know your location to provide more specific guidance on defamation laws in your area?

Hi Hannah,
In South Carolina, defamation laws provide for both libel (written defamation) and slander (spoken defamation). Here are some key points:
- Defamation must be a false statement presented as a fact.
- The statement must be made to someone other than you.
- It must cause harm to your reputation.
It's advisable to send a cease and desist letter first. If the issue persists, you may need to consider legal action.
