Did someone refuse to do business with you because of the false statements? What dollar amount can you prove you were you damaged by the false statements?

Best,

As Mr. Bakondi implies from his blunt questions, unless you can prove actual damages - i.e. loss of income or assets - due to the lies, you don't have a case. If you can show actual fiscal harm, however, then it sounds like you may have a good case of defamation.

In any lawsuit for defamation, you need to be prepared for a SLAPP motion at the outset. A SLAPP (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation) motion is a special motion to strike, which forces you to prove that you would reasonably prevail in a lawsuit. If you lose this motion, you lose the case and have to pay the defendant's attorney's fees.
