Defamation Case Goes to Trial

We are expected to go to trial this month in a years-long case involving what is called “defamation.”  

The now former mayor of a Cleveland suburb (in order to promote her failed attempt at re-election) deliberately defamed two prior officers in an attempt to cover up her own public dishonesty. 

These cases are heavy with emotion, and we often have to remember what a deliberately defamatory statement can do to a person’s professional reputation.
