Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

How can I stop a Little League Board from defaming me?

The Local LL Board of Dir. has been harrassing and defaming my family. A board member has a personal vendetta and has written letters (on league letterhead) to my husbands contractors saying that the money the companies donated to the team was never recieved by them which is untrue. It implies that the money was misappropriated by us. The board also tried to make my son ineligible for all stars and tried to remove my other from his team. They are spreading lies all around. I have asked them verbally and in writing to stop but they won't. How can I put an end to this?

If you have already tried yourself to get them to stop, then hire an attorney to threaten legal action and file suit if need be. Contact me if interested in doing so.

Thank you for your posting.

Given the facts stated by you, you may be able to get restraining orders, with cease and desist instructions, from a court, against the individuals involved.

You also have a right to sue for your monetary damages, if any, against the board or the individual members.

I hope that this information helps, but if you have further questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. I am happy to help in any way that I can.
