I received a letter in washington d.c. from an attorney located in Boston, Ma. The attorney accused me of filing a child abuse complaint against someone. The information was false. I contacted social services and they claim that they never told the attorney I filed a child abuse complaint. There was a child abuse complaint filed against this person, but the child's school intiated the complaint, not me.

Can I sue the attorney for defamation and/or negligence.

Dear Keekee:

At this stage, probably not. If you continue to receive letters from the attorney, then you may be able to charge him/her with harassment. Also, consider contacting the state bar and filing a complaint, as this sounds unethical to me.
