Mark Lefkow obtains Dismissal under Georgia’s anti-SLAPP Act
Partner Mark Lefkow obtained an order dismissing and striking a complaint against our lawyer client under Georgia’s anti-SLAPP Act. The action was brought by a plaintiff’s lawyer against a defense lawyer for libel, slander, trade libel, false light invasion of privacy, and injunctive relief, for statements made by the defense lawyer relating to pending personal injury litigation. In granting our motion to dismiss for the defense lawyer, the court found that the statements made by our client were true and constituted privileged speech, and that our client is entitled to recover attorneys’ fees.
