As one of the few lawyers that handle defamation cases, I can tell you that a civil trial lawyer of some sort will bewhere you start. Defeamation cases are typcially expensive to pursue and are not usually handled on a contingent fee basis. If the issue is highly emotional and there isa combative defendant, they can be very costly.
