QUESTION
A condo board, association and management company defamed me, my business and another person.
Asked on Apr 19th, 2022 on Libel, Slander and Defamation - Florida
More details to this question:
A condo HOA, just four of its five directors and the property management firm libeled me, my business and another person by publishing an email letter to 141 unit owners. The email contains five separate instances of libel,per se or by implication. The HOA had insurance that covers $6M I think. They also cover $1M for the manager. The manager republished the email so they're liable and also have a bunch of insurance. The four directors all own two or more real properties and have various other assets. All four directors are NOT Florida resident, but have residency two in Ohio, 1 in New Hampshire and 1 in Wyoming. Additionally, there are four counts of breach of contract and I just got a Right To Sue letter from the Miami EEOC for retaliatory discharge, hostile work place. The evidence also proves civil conspiracy and IIED. What say you smart people?

We smart people say -- So? There is simply nothing factually stated here other than "They are rich! and I want some!." You provide only your own self serving conclusions such as "they libeled me" where properly - you need to leave the conclusions to the lawyers and just present the facts. Equally, not sure how you have an EEOC issue if you relate that you have your own business as there are no protections for business vs. business disputes. While you might have a legal case in the morass of issues you related - you will need to plan on spending money out of pocket as you won't generally find coherent lawyers willing to take such cases on a contingent fee and those that do - sadly - typically with draw after a few months once it becomes clear that no one is stroking a $1,000,000.00 settlement check. I say this so you can better prepare for what you will need to do if you truly expect to pursue such a case.
