Phoenix Libel Lawyer

Protection for a person against defamation through libel is covered under Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) 20-445. Defaming someone in a permanent medium through written form, photo, electronic broadcast, some form of printed words or a form of communication in a physical way is called libel.

This is a serious civil action because a person’s career, family life, friendships, club memberships and self-worth can be shaken, ruined and devastating. Libel must be proved with physical evidence, such as witnesses, published works, printed media, and physical acts of malicious false derogatory actions against a person. 
Some forms of libel are:

• Written communication that threatens to injure or kill anyone or persons;
• Money extortion attempts;
• Newspaper articles without publishers name;
• Public statements that is false;
• False rumors, suggestions, written or printed material of financial institutions, banks and loan institutions; and
• Printing, publishing, distributing and disseminating printed materials that can cause persons or religious groups to be targeted and exposed to hate, ridicule, contempt and harm stemming from the material.
