Purchase options and add-ons

Fighting Slander is a roadmap for defamation victims/targets who want to move on with their lives, ending the defamation, leaving behind bad memories and toxic people and the word “victim,” moving towards a brighter future with renewed optimism and their reputation restored.

The author looks at the simplest solutions first, from pretending to ignore it (not talking about it outside of friends and family), to a cease and desist letter (the cheapest legal solution), to erasing defamation from the internet with takedown notices to the website owners – only then does it move into a plain-English description of the legal options if a full lawsuit is necessary, with claims for economic damages and/or emotional distress.

It is also a condensed practice guide for attorneys and law firms who rarely see defamation cases, perhaps taking one on for a regular client, or because they are willing to fight the good fight. At 170 pages, Fighting Slander is thorough but digestible, in between the 10-page student guides meant to pass one exam and the 1,600 page practice guides that tell more than you want to know about defamation law.

See Amazon’s “Look Inside” option for the full table of contents and range of different types of defamation covered by this book.

Reviews for the author’s classic bestseller Dancing with Lawyers: How to Take Charge and Get Results

"Dancing with Lawyers is a must for any reference shelf." – The Atlanta Journal & Constitution

"A no-nonsense approach, Dancing with Lawyers gets down to brass tacks . . . This straight-forward, readable book is full of practical advice." – The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram

"Non-fiction books should inform. When they entertain it’s a plus, and when they delight it’s truly a bonus. This one does it all in spades.... If you already have a lawyer you need this book, and it may be the best money you spend this year." – The Victoria Times Colonist

"A lively, world-wise guide that de-mystifies the lawyer-client relationship." – Michael Pertschuk, former Chairman, Federal Trade Commission

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful information and an enjoyable read.

Fighting Slander is a comfortable read but doesn't skimp on citing examples or dicussing nuances of the law. I never felt out of my depth despite my complete ignorance of law.
If I had read this book years ago I would have been better prepared to defend myself against some untrue and unkind accusations. Those accusations dogged me for years. It's amazing how many people assume that if you don't fight then it must be true. I could have saved myself so much grief.
Anyone who depends on their reputation should read this book. It's a must buy for anyone considering a run for any public office whether it's mayor or school board.

The first thing that stands out in the fifth edition of "Fighting Slander" is how knowledgeable Nicholas Carroll has become in this field, bringing clarity to what might otherwise be a cloudy road of legalese. The second thing, right away, is the writing style, and because I am also a writer, I can't help always judging the 'music' of someone's writing. This book is smooth, clear, enjoyable, and sometimes funny, with lots of anecdotes and insights, delivered gracefully.

Gives in depth step by step information for any sector of legal slander. Whether it be emotional abuse, physical, etc., Nicholas provides the resources and advice to pace you through the process. Even with little to no legal experience, I now have a better understanding of interpreting and recognizing slander. His witty remarks and personal experience will keep you entertained and glued to the book from cover to cover.

I will keep this on hand as a reference for dealing with the personalities, dramas and problem people within realestate issues which are common in my current field.

A book to open and review before calling an attorney.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2021
I was pretty clueless about the legal system, but the book made it easy to understand. It is long enough to provide the basis but not too long to make me lost or bored. The author has mastered the subject. Explanation of defamation and protection against it on social media was especially useful for me. The book does not just say what is right or wrong but shows how to navigate the system; for example, simply telling the truth is not enough – you need to know how and where to tell it.

Defamation is a horrible thing. The book not only taught me how to repair its damages, but also how to make sure that I don’t do it (accidently) to others. Do you think that someone can talk trash about you or vice versa unpunished – think again.
