$1.00. Very hard cases to win, alleged defamation must be over the top, and recipient must have lost something of value which can be translated into dollars. Most lawyers won't take them, although it is recommended that you obtain a personal consultation with one to see if you have a case. Initial consultations are usually done at no cost. If you don't know a lawyer, you can find one at http://www.nmbar.org/.
