Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: libel/defamation from hoa board member

You would sue in small claims or Superior Court. You might want to sue the HOA depending on what capacity or how it was posted, what the board knew, etc.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

Shame on whoever posted that notice. Sue and sue big. Good luck.

Re: libel/defamation from hoa board member

As long as it is a lie, it is libel. You may contact me and I'll evaluate the case more thoroughly and we can potentially initiate a suit.

Re: libel/defamation from hoa board member

Absolutely. Further, this form of defamation of character would be deemed "libel" since it was in writing. Finally, since the libel falsely attacked your esteem in the community as an illegal purveyor of drugs, you have a VERY strong case against BOTH the HOA board and individual director, if anyone read and understood the false misrepresentations.

Re: libel/defamation from hoa board member

It is unclear if you are on the board. If so, the statement may be privileged and then you will not have a case. However, if the statement is not privileged and it is not true, like the other lawyers have said, the statement is libelous.

Re: libel/defamation from hoa board member

If in fact this is a lie, it would be libel. This is the type of case that I would like to explore further with you.

I contact my office for a free consultation.
