My question involves defamation in the state of: New York
Hi!!! I was wondering if someone could help me out. I recently opened a daycare in NYC. Everything has been going really well. But since day one that I opened another daycare in the same neighborhood has been slandering my daycare. The owner has been going around to everyone possible saying we are horrible people, dont come to my daycare and everything else under the sun imaginable. She has also been making people call her everyday faking that they are perspective parents to find out all the information she could on my daycare. This has been going on for months and I just can't take it anymore. She is filled to her capacity with children so I don't understand why she cares so much. I'm just afraid this is going to give me a bad name and ruin business for me.
So my question is....do I have any type of case against her for slander or anything else? Can a recorded conversation be used as proof in a slander case? She speaks to a few people that I also know in the area and I can have her recorded. Or is there another way if a recording can't be used?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!!!![]()
