  • My first experience with Just Answer has been better than I ever thought possible. I had a fairly complex legal question regarding Medicare provider regulations. For a week I had been trying to find an attorney familiar with Medicare but to no avail. I really didn't expect anyone at Just Answer to know anything about this issue. Yet the attorney who answered my question, Dimitry Alexander Kaplun, Esq., not only answered the question but cited the specific Medicare regulation in question. For six years, I was a Westlaw representative so I've worked with hundreds of attorneys. Some attorneys are knowledgable and some aren't, especially about administrative law. But Mr. Kaplun clearly had an exceptional understanding of the issue and was able to explain it concisely. I would recommend Just Answer to anyone. Great service that lives up to it's promises!

I am a CEO of a FI and have an individual in our small community

 
 
 

Customer Question

I am a CEO of a FI and have an individual in our small community with a "passion" of speaking slanderous words so as to ruin my reputation in the community and is intent on me losing my job after 25 great years in the non profit business. He is stating that I am a a felon having "breaking and entering" a friends business and is intent and shouts to everyone who will listen that I am a thief and he will have me in jail. My business has began to suffer a bit in such a small community but the most of my customers know me well over the past 25 years and are standing by me. The DAs office dismissed any case months ago but this man went back in to the DAs office and caused quite a ruckous (as stated to my by the investigating Trooper) to have them re-investigate the incident. Can I stop him in his tracks and sue him for slander. This has gotten to horribly out of hand and I have taken the "high road" and just kept quiet thus far.

Hello and thanks so much for choosing this forum to pose your important legal question. I will do my best to give you some honest and accurate guidance as I answer your question.

 

  1. I am a licensed attorney with civil litigation experience. I will be glad to try and answer your question. I hope that the following information will be helpful to you, but please just write back if you have any follow-up questions or need clarification on anything after reviewing the following information. Thank you for taking the time to write back and supply the additional requested information, which was helpful to my analysis of your inquiry. I would be glad to interact with you further if needed after you click "Accept" to process my answer.
  2. I am sorry you have had to endure this ordeal, and I hope things look much brighter for you soon. Based on what you have related here, I think you certainly have solid grounds for pursuing legal action against this person. Pennsylvania has a one year statute of limitations for defamation, pursuant to 42 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5523(1), so the time frame is fairly strict. I would encourage you to confer with a local attorney just as soon as possible. A reliable and cost-effective way to obtain a referral would be to schedule a session for $30 through the Pennsylvania Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service.

 

I hope that this information has been helpful to you. If we can be of any further assistance please free to use our service again. Best wishes for a successful outcome.

 

If my answer has been helpful to you, please click "ACCEPT" so that I may be paid. This is the only way that I will receive compensation for the work performed. Please consider clicking "BONUS" as a nice way of saying "thanks" for a job well done. Clicking "FEEDBACK" to leave your positive comments is always greatly appreciated.

 

The information provided is general in nature only and should not be construed as legal advice. By using this forum, you acknowledge that no attorney-client relationship has been created between you and Benjamin M. Burt, Jr., Esq. You should always consult with a lawyer in your state.
