How much can I say on the web without being in trouble?

[justsomeguy]

What is the name of your state? TX.

I have posted in another topic that I have an interior designer who has taken $6,000 from me 4 months ago which was supposed to be spent on interior work done to our house. I have been avoided and given excuses after excuses for these 4 months, still waitin on the work. I am to the point now where I am going to pursue legal action against her both civilly and criminaly if it can be done.

In the meantime I have a popular website, I have created a page on it which has her name as a headline. I have not put any information on this page yet.

Currently, when doing a search for this persons name in any major search engine, the page I created for her comes up #2 for her name, and #1 for her company name.

I created this as a leverage tool, which I was hoping I wouldn't have to use. but it looks like I may. I would not write anything which was not truthful and factual, but I'm wondering if there are anythings I can not say to avoid getting myself in trouble for libel??

I definately think anyone considering using this person in the future should know about our experience.

I appreciate your help

As long as you have the money to defend yourself in a lawsuit, say all you want.

Yep.

I agree.

If I could answer that, I'd be at the casino.

She may not successfully sue you, but she can still sue you.

To get from "She's going to sue me" to "She sued me and I won" you're going to have to go through a lot of crap that might not be worth it.

You are probably wiser to pursue legal action against her than opening yourself up to a defamation suit where she can seek action against you. Opinion is free speech but opinions that imply fact can bring a libel suit, and posting only the truth will help when you have to DEFEND a lawsuit for defamation, but it does not prevent a suit from being filed against you in the first place.
