Defamation Cease And Desist

Summary

Receiving a cease and desist letter for defamation involves understanding the legal implications of making false statements that harm someones reputation. If the statement is untrue, evaluate the evidence to support its accuracy. Consider drafting a formal response to outline why the statement is true. Consulting with a local attorney can provide guidance on how to proceed and ensure compliance with legal requirements. Retraction may be necessary if claims are false, but if they are true or uncertain, legal advice is crucial.
