I just saw judge Mathis punish someone for defamation even though the statement was true. He claimed that it was considered an invasion of privacy to disclose something to people discussed. I'm confused
This was very helpful as I'm about to file my case. My manager failed to be transparent that our "meeting" was a review, and posted false claims to my employee file preventing me from possibly moving on to another department in our system. This only came about after I mentioned to her on two previous occasions that I did not feel comfortable within the department, that other employees were speaking disrespectfully to me, and that I was treated with much better respect on other units. So basically she tried to retaliate against me and post libel information (hearsay) on my employee file that is visible to other department managers. Unfortunately, for her she neglected to respond to my initial claims, didn't investigate my concerns, and turned the situation around. As we all know my earning potential or growth within the system can be seriously impacted because of this. I hope no one has to ever deal with this it's very stressful, and I feel terrible going to work everyday.
Love the intro and humor in an otherwise dry and serious topic. This vid was very informative, easy to understand and brought a smile to my face :) thank you for sharing your knowledge instead of hoarding it!
I had managers and leads do this. I didn't find out until years later and lost any chance I had to get answers for it. I wondered why I felt like I was being forced out and given less work. Later someone told me management wanted to get rid of me. It was after a period where I reported harassment and stalking. They never took action, and I was treated inappropriately by others there. But the statute ran out and I had an arbitration agreement when I hired. I wish I knew all this sooner... Thanks for the videos! Definitely subbing.
Hello, I appreciate your breaking this down for us. I watched this after I wrote my response to a wrongful and libel write up Friday and just got an apology and retraction this morning while the person was on the team meeting phone call with their direct supervisor!! 🎉😂 Vindication is sweeeeet
@@braniganrobertsonlaw let say there are rumors this guy is cheating on his wife. Is that slander?. Because your saying the guy is cheating on his wife. You are saying there are rumors he dod it
You are awesome. I know what you mean by " pain and suffering" and sadly that pain and suffering can stop one from moving forward in life and seeking justice inorder to try to get away from the flashbacks and emotions the "situation" brings. Love your videos.
This really helps, me and my colleague recently got our privacy violated. Our private conversation on text was obtained without our consent and was printed out, not only that it was shown to everyone in our office and to our superiors. The conversation was out of frustration and and we were venting out, comforting each other however had swear words (not proud of it) and things were said about another colleague but nothing out of malice. It was our way of releasing our frustration. The conversation took place outside the office, and after office hours, yet it seems to our superiors we were in the wrong for just expressing our frustration. We feel unsafe at our workplace and we don’t know if we should continue to file a complaint. 😔
Sounds like it wasnt a lie so theres nothing you can do. If he made up what you guys said its one thing but if he exposed something you actually did thats on you
thanks for that. I was just made victim to slander and defamation in New Zealand. So, even tho its law in California, many things apply here too. The hardest part to prove is the pain and suffering that goes with slander.
I’ve experienced this. My manager wrote on my termination paperwork that I was fired because I’m a Hermaphrodite and have schizophrenia. She argued that it prevented me from doing my job. These statements are false. It’s crazy to me that Managers can spread rumors about you and get away with it because they have power and you don’t. That’s why people are afraid to get jobs, this happens all the time.
Thank you. Your information was awesome. I want you to know that you may be tired but you answered the questions simply for people to understand. I’m going to give you a call.
I was watching a debate and one side called another libeling, so I was looking for a definition and found your video. Your video was pretty thorough (and thanks for the comic relief), and it gave me some perspective of Jesus Christ’s trial and accusations and made me cherish Him more! Thank you so much for taking the time to go though all these explanations. I appreciate it. Bless you and may you be a great success.
I know a guy who studied Islamic law in Saudi Arabia for six years. Returned in 2001. Became a part time Imam and got a government job. Within a few months, they tried to recruit him to spy. He refused. The government messed with him to get him to quit himself. It took them fifteen years of abuse. Now, he’s in his fifties. Penniless. In deep debt. Jobless. Homeless. A mental case. Such a huge budgeted hidden phycological job, no case against the government. Watch the movie The Game, by Michael Douglas. They do that to people multiple times a week over years!
I’ve recently just gone threw defamation, an don’t know what to do. I was charged with a crime that was made up. It was racially motivated !! An was posted on many many articles on the internet. Trying to inform myself on this matter
I love how when I was in school we had many assemblies and such about the evils of drug use, DUIs, etc. We never had any education on law about the dangers and evils behind spreading false reporting. They didn't want kids to be afraid of tattletales and many times they just are teaching to be one and possibly taking things the wrong way.
Someone I believe has worked for a company for about 3 years ,where the company falsely suspended him of theft resulting people in the workplace suspending him assuming that he was stealing company assets the employee submits evidence to the CCMA of paperwork signed by their personal of the company allowing the equipment to leave the building,I believe that the employee got suspended without a reason by the face to face by the employer. Due to the evidence of the employee the employer had to bring the employee back from suspension where the company still put it a theft warning on their name and gave them a warning even though they complied by company authorization to do so does the employee has a case here?
How about a former boss saying, "Don't talk to her. She's a bad person and doesn't know what she's doing" -- when talking to someone I shared an office space with? Yeah that sucked.
I watched this video and it was very helpful. I realized that this firm is located not far from me and I called for help. I was extremely disappointed to receive a callback saying that I can’t be helped because of “caseloads” or something in that area? I am so disappointed considering I have been severely harassed and I have documented evidence over a period of time. So why can’t I receive help if I’ve expressed complete anguish in result of my situation? My opinion is this lawyer could have looked into my case more but instead I feel shunned away when what I am going through is morally wrong. I’d like to think lawyers want to help resolve issues like mine and I’m disappointed in the strength of the video but the lack of it once I called.
Hi there. I'm sorry to hear this. We try our best to help as many people as we can. We also try our best to connect with everyone who calls our office. Sometimes we fall short. If you feel like we didn't do a good job hearing your story or evaluating your case, shoot me an email at branigan@brobertsonlaw.com with your name and I'll set up a personal call with you.
I found this very informative. I contact a lawyer today and hope to hear back from them at the end of the week. I am curious to see what is recommended. I own 2 business and a family member said some inappropriate things on Facebook accusing me of an illegal act. I feel the accusation could damage my reputation as I am in the retail business. -from Pennsylvania btw- you remind me of agent copper from twin peaks
Are you free to discuss my current situation from a wrongful work termination due to defamation and how it has ruined my reputation to work in the golf industry for the last 4 years. I have suffered emotionally with depression and anxiety. The golf course continues to grow financially while I have suffered.
Great video I'm in My state ..I have yet to get a response to the lawyers and the "torius interference" for over 3 years trying to get a full time job again has gotten out of control and I am confused that the claim a "statues of limitations" when lawyers don't respond when you ask for help
Hi great video. I've been at my job for 14 years for the last couple of years the board members have been bringing in building mangers and supers to get rid of myself and three other employees, they keep saying that we are not working and that we do not know how to do our jobs. That by itself is slander should I speak to someone about this?
VERY WELL DELIVERED. However, I am writing a book on a schools and what has happened to me and my son as we journeyed from Elementary to University. I am leaving out names but unsure of leaving out the courses or departments whose teacher's are in question. I do not know where First Amendment rights come in for defamation? What type of lawyer would be good to consult with on publications.
That was interesting, thanks. From my experience so far it seems that most lawyers want a $300 fee just to determine if there's a case, is that normal?
I believe I'm going to need your services. Do you give free consultations to see if I have a case? Live in Montebello, working the OC area (Brea, La Habra and Fullerton).
This was such a great video. I think I have a libel case. I'm on worker's comp/FLMA. I've been coming into one of the offices to print out sick leave and medical forms once or twice a week over the course of a month not staying more than 30-45 minutes on average. An indirect manager received information from one the employees that works there that I have been coming in to work nearly 8 hour days-which was patently false. This manager sent an email to me and ten other colleagues stating that I should not be on the premises (handbook doesn't state that) and that I will be written up for the violations. This manager also ended the email with "if I can come in to use the computer than I am well enough to return to work." Do I have a libel case?
Recently found out on youtube about your amazing informative channel and wonder if your office work or partner with other states lawyers that pursue these cases surely win me and have my case and more from many others.
Could anybody answer if somebody stole off me and I told people and it ended up in court. Would he be asked to provide proof of purchase or would I need to prove he stole it? Thanks
been accused of being a bergler in the apartment building i live in and 2 times i was not even home . and in 1 case the man that was burglarizing moved out of the neighborhood tho he did one guy has went after men for revenge , im disabled i have a non cure blood cancer and spinal cord damage and deceased but they do not respect me as disabled and still accuse and so forth.. and the landlord is no better he don't want people or me to use the water so as a result he has the accusers monitor my water usage and when i turn on the water or even flesh the toilet the landlord is called and told im using alot of water..i been in the building along time so im considered the villain.
Similar to employment law in the UK. Defamation - false statement of fact. I was accused of this when I raised a grievance but couldn't prove. They regretted it afterwards. That's all I can say
So, if I tell the story of something bad that a liar has done (accountant executor abused his position), and this liar is a bully so leaps to libel threats, should this stop me publishing my experience, when the civil and criminal routes are closed? Do you have any more advise re this?
I wish that you were my attorney. Love the way that you breakdown this information. I’m from NC and was discriminated and defamatory by the lowes home improvement corporation. Do you practice in other states?
I'm in this situation now! One of my companies customers employees made false statements to their HR and they wanted me off the account BUT now my employer has no reason to let me go ( just yet) do to NO information from the customer other than " he said she said ". NO facts, no documentation at all. Went to an attorney today and he is still not sure it solid! Any advice?
Thank you for your video, Branigan. So, I understand that truth is a defense to an allegation of defamation. But what about cases that are not as cut and dried? What if the defendant can show evidence in support of the 'defamatory' statement? Will such a defense work, even if said evidence doesn't prove the defamatory statement but shows that the statement is more likely to be true than false?
I curious about something If So say someone says they suspect someone of cyberstalking based on their suspicious activity and their connection to someone who has hurt you in the past. Is that slander? you know since they don't know for sure if this is true. They aren't stating they were stalked but are stating they suspect it because of the person's pattern of behavior, connection to someone dangerous and suspicious behavior. I would think that is not defamation but i was wondering.
So I can counter sue for defamation on an ordinance violation? Is it a violation when you've submitted info but they only gave you an hour to get info and so you gave as much as possible w a contact number to verify and four month later they sue me?
Can an employee that works for the same city, but different entity sue the other one for making a false complaint against him, was clearly a "false statement of fact"?
That's why you hire a lawyer. That's not a cop out. It's intricate and nuanced. However, he gave you some excellent text book examples. "Opinions" are not defamation. A "false" statement of "fact" is defamation. For instance, "I think you're a moron" (opinion). "You have a learning disability" (potentially false statement of fact that tends to make you look bad). I'm saying something as if it were a "fact". Another example. An opinion is "it is hot today". A fact is "it is 98 degrees today". Some people may disagree that it's "hot". Nobody can disagree it's 98 degrees.
A Public Adjuster that I hired to work for me scammed me. I left a negative review on what he did, now he’s suing me for defamation. I don’t have the funds to hire an attorney. What can I do?
If a successful company like a restaurant posts a sign about say a taxi cab on a sign out side on the restaurants sidewalk area that says something like "warning taxicabs $100+ " is this legal to have multiple double sided signs stating that ? If one taxi cab overcharged a patron of there restaurant is it legal to post this type of sign advertising that??
I told the manager about the actual incidents regarding a male employee's obscene behavior but nothing came out of it. It's really difficult for me to take the results of my complaint fall on deaf ears.
The law slways finds a way to protect companies. Lying on someone just because they both have a common interest is why I don't have faith in the justice system.
Hi! what if a person posted an article, that he (or her) wrote himself about someone, let's say John, consists of some defamatory statements about John, but only post it on his blog (online) and no where else? is it consider a defamation? Thanks!
So I recently resigned from a job, me and the human recourses director wrote it up together and turned it in. The even wrote accepted on the letter (which I have a copy of) but they are telling prospective employers that I was terminated, does that meet the standard for defamation?
I got two reports in which where put on me when i reported them both to my supervisor. N manager who told me to go home after i expose him when i disagree to go home when i ask for evidence they were falsy acussing me i email my agency had a meeting with both supervisor n manager n got demoted then bullied.
The store I work at was robbed at gun point and I was the employee working that night. After the incident one of the police officers was shopping at a near by store on duty (a store that I frequently shop at and get along with the workers great) when the employees there enquired about my safty, the police officer told the employees that he thinks I'm friends with the perpetrator and that I had somthing to do with the robbery, which is not true in the slightest. I understand that when a store is robbed that the workers collaboration in the robbery is considered and investigated but why go to another store and express his theories of my involvement to them?
What if someone is threatening to sue you for defamation/libel and you have proof to back up your claims, and they claim to have your home address and make police threats? Is there any legal action I can take?
theres a man who uses intimidation and hate, but after i heard how he sells cigarettes' packs at other locations in bulk can i contact his job? i normally wouldn't care about his side hussle if he never harassed me in the first place. i just want him to move somewhere else...
So if a coworker says something awful about you to another employee and you over hear or record it (I recorded it), do you sue the other employee personally? Or the employer (manager, HR) for punitive damages and pain and suffering?
So the owner of the company lives in Alabama, I live in Washington, then the rest of the texting group and affiliates (3rd parties) live in various states. My question is which state would I look for an attorney in? What is they email all the lies to all their clients and employees the post another set of lies on their website?
Depending on the various circumstances of the case, the one with jurisdiction over the matter could be the Federal Court over the District in Alabama, but it depends on everything that _wasn't_ written in this comment _"The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising... between Citizens of different States."_ *Art. III Sec. II* Contact an attorney on this matter for further details.
How about a gas station employee who threaten to call the cops on me because I told her I had my own cup and refused me service because I said I’ll just get a new cup if I’m going to be charged a new cup price the employee told me it was her coffee even tho it’s my good market coffee
My case - "Behavioral problems" -accused of-loathsome disease, implying mental or psychiatric issues; no matter what I produced ignored. 100s of emails, 100s of attachments, employer ignored every email, document and attachment completely and would not consider these; terminated me. I think that is acting in bad faith and with malice, because I can't defend myself in any way. Damage-I work with 7 businesses through this company, they wouldn't let me even contact any of these to end my status before terminating, because I need to work with them in possibly the next 20 years.
Person can only sue you for defamation of character if the statement is false. But if it’s the actual truth you are protected.
I just saw judge Mathis punish someone for defamation even though the statement was true. He claimed that it was considered an invasion of privacy to disclose something to people discussed. I'm confused
If they intentional destroyed your name and got you harassed to. You can sue them for the damages. MALICE SLANDER
@@danielleg2616 that is a television show
What if it was formerly true? Like you were a rapist, and you changed? (AND NO I AM NOT A RAPIST)

This videos are so informative, I didn't know nothing about it. Thanks a lot for doing videos like this Mr Robertson!
Thank you for giving such wonderful advice! You also have a great sense of humor that I love in explaining your videos. Love it!
Hello,
I appreciate your breaking this down for us.
I watched this after I wrote my response to a wrongful and libel write up Friday and just got an apology and retraction this morning while the person was on the team meeting phone call with their direct supervisor!! 🎉😂
Vindication is sweeeeet
I'm glad the videos are giving people the confidence to address issues at work!
@@braniganrobertsonlaw let say there are rumors this guy is cheating on his wife. Is that slander?. Because your saying the guy is cheating on his wife. You are saying there are rumors he dod it
Thanks for the legal info you share. You're very clear and get straight to the point.
You are awesome. I know what you mean by " pain and suffering" and sadly that pain and suffering can stop one from moving forward in life and seeking justice inorder to try to get away from the flashbacks and emotions the "situation" brings. Love your videos.
To #Suffer means that one was experiencing something that they did not like and they had thee option to stop it but they chose not to!
A nursing home falsely accused me of something called the police then banned me from coming back to see my mother.
I realize it is pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online?
@Milo Rogelio I would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it :)
@Angelo Legend Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for since april myself =)

I know a guy who studied Islamic law in Saudi Arabia for six years. Returned in 2001. Became a part time Imam and got a government job. Within a few months, they tried to recruit him to spy. He refused.
The government messed with him to get him to quit himself. It took them fifteen years of abuse.
Now, he’s in his fifties. Penniless. In deep debt. Jobless. Homeless. A mental case.
Such a huge budgeted hidden phycological job, no case against the government.

How about a former boss saying, "Don't talk to her. She's a bad person and doesn't know what she's doing" -- when talking to someone I shared an office space with? Yeah that sucked.
So the employer can lie on an employee as long as he is lied to someone who has a common interest?

Thank you for your video, Branigan. So, I understand that truth is a defense to an allegation of defamation.
But what about cases that are not as cut and dried? What if the defendant can show evidence in support of the 'defamatory' statement? Will such a defense work, even if said evidence doesn't prove the defamatory statement but shows that the statement is more likely to be true than false?
I curious about something If So say someone says they suspect someone of cyberstalking based on their suspicious activity and their connection to someone who has hurt you in the past. Is that slander? you know since they don't know for sure if this is true. They aren't stating they were stalked but are stating they suspect it because of the person's pattern of behavior, connection to someone dangerous and suspicious behavior. I would think that is not defamation but i was wondering.
I'm almost positive I have a slander case and a hostel work environment case as well. What should I do?
So I can counter sue for defamation on an ordinance violation? Is it a violation when you've submitted info but they only gave you an hour to get info and so you gave as much as possible w a contact number to verify and four month later they sue me?
Thank you so much for the info!
You bet!
Can an employee that works for the same city, but different entity sue the other one for making a false complaint against him, was clearly a "false statement of fact"?
Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing God bless you
So if a performance review doesn't count, when does it count?
That's why you hire a lawyer. That's not a cop out. It's intricate and nuanced. However, he gave you some excellent text book examples. "Opinions" are not defamation. A "false" statement of "fact" is defamation. For instance, "I think you're a moron" (opinion). "You have a learning disability" (potentially false statement of fact that tends to make you look bad). I'm saying something as if it were a "fact". Another example. An opinion is "it is hot today". A fact is "it is 98 degrees today". Some people may disagree that it's "hot". Nobody can disagree it's 98 degrees.
Would you be interested in listening to a possible libel suit? I’m in Sacramento. If not, would you have anyone you would recommend in Sacramento?
Do you have any contacts in New Hampshire? Thanks for the video.
A Public Adjuster that I hired to work for me scammed me. I left a negative review on what he did, now he’s suing me for defamation. I don’t have the funds to hire an attorney. What can I do?
If a successful company like a restaurant posts a sign about say a taxi cab on a sign out side on the restaurants sidewalk area that says something like "warning taxicabs $100+ " is this legal to have multiple double sided signs stating that ? If one taxi cab overcharged a patron of there restaurant is it legal to post this type of sign advertising that??
I told the manager about the actual incidents regarding a male employee's obscene behavior but nothing came out of it. It's really difficult for me to take the results of my complaint fall on deaf ears.
The law slways finds a way to protect companies. Lying on someone just because they both have a common interest is why I don't have faith in the justice system.
Hi! what if a person posted an article, that he (or her) wrote himself about someone, let's say John, consists of some defamatory statements about John, but only post it on his blog (online) and no where else? is it consider a defamation? Thanks!
That depends. It definitely satisfies the publication element of defamation but any lawyer would need to know much more to determine.
How can an employee access her performance evaluation?
Thank you!
Great opening :)
So I recently resigned from a job, me and the human recourses director wrote it up together and turned it in. The even wrote accepted on the letter (which I have a copy of) but they are telling prospective employers that I was terminated, does that meet the standard for defamation?

N manager who told me to go home after i expose him when i disagree to go home when i ask for evidence they were falsy acussing me i email my agency had a meeting with both supervisor n manager n got demoted then bullied.

A coworker accused me of stealing boxes of product from employer.
Do you contact a lawyer before you contact the Eeoc?
What about if you feel that the manager discriminated against you but can't prove it, will that consider defamation.
The store I work at was robbed at gun point and I was the employee working that night. After the incident one of the police officers was shopping at a near by store on duty (a store that I frequently shop at and get along with the workers great) when the employees there enquired about my safty, the police officer told the employees that he thinks I'm friends with the perpetrator and that I had somthing to do with the robbery, which is not true in the slightest. I understand that when a store is robbed that the workers collaboration in the robbery is considered and investigated but why go to another store and express his theories of my involvement to them?
Thank you so much
What if someone is threatening to sue you for defamation/libel and you have proof to back up your claims, and they claim to have your home address and make police threats? Is there any legal action I can take?
I have probably taken 100+ calls for defamation cases. The problem I find is that the client didn't suffer any damages.
tyvm. on the white board at 10:13 and before, the red text says some latin phrase? treble ????? ?
Yea I am also facing this
Can you please take my case
Some is the workers tel there are useless.
I like your third point 2:06

Defimation, slandering,of a personss character libel
Do these laws apply to groups as well as individuals who are being defamed, libeled, and slandered?
What about if you worded a “statement” in other ways & another language that they quit?

Defamation is one of the hardest cases to win.. most end in loss
Can you deliver a C case and decide for slander?
Is the employers insurance company considered a third party in workers comp
So if a coworker says something awful about you to another employee and you over hear or record it (I recorded it), do you sue the other employee personally? Or the employer (manager, HR) for punitive damages and pain and suffering?
Same! Recorded it too.
Did you ever receive an answer
So the owner of the company lives in Alabama, I live in Washington, then the rest of the texting group and affiliates (3rd parties) live in various states. My question is which state would I look for an attorney in? What is they email all the lies to all their clients and employees the post another set of lies on their website?
Depending on the various circumstances of the case, the one with jurisdiction over the matter could be the Federal Court over the District in Alabama, but it depends on everything that _wasn't_ written in this comment
_"The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising... between Citizens of different States."_ *Art. III Sec. II*
Contact an attorney on this matter for further details.
How about a gas station employee who threaten to call the cops on me because I told her I had my own cup and refused me service because I said I’ll just get a new cup if I’m going to be charged a new cup price the employee told me it was her coffee even tho it’s my good market coffee
My case - "Behavioral problems" -accused of-loathsome disease, implying mental or psychiatric issues; no matter what I produced ignored. 100s of emails, 100s of attachments, employer ignored every email, document and attachment completely and would not consider these; terminated me. I think that is acting in bad faith and with malice, because I can't defend myself in any way. Damage-I work with 7 businesses through this company, they wouldn't let me even contact any of these to end my status before terminating, because I need to work with them in possibly the next 20 years.
Oh! I forgot your in California and I’m in Las Vegas. Do you handle cases in Nevada?
