said by howrman:Sorry if I wasn't clear before as to the nature of the conduct that gave rise to the suit. The defendant posted a comment under my name that was critical of judges before whom I practice. Thus, he wanted those judges to believe that I was publically expressing unprofessional comments about them.
If it was merely a matter of a person expressing opinions about me, I couldn't and wouldn't sue. Opinions are protected free speech. As such, they are not actionable. The problem here is that the defendant fraudulently represented that he was me and he falsely attributed damaging statements to me.
What would you do under these circumstances to seek redress?
If the judges know you and the other person then you should be fine. If a judge cannot tell you are telling the truth that you did not post it well something is wrong.
