Last week, I helped to dismiss a $25M defamation lawsuit with an anti-SLAPP motion. I threw out a $6.7M lawsuit a few months ago with an anti-SLAPP motion. This is just an overview and is not legal advice. Always consult with a licensed attorney about whether you can anti-SLAPP the lawsuit brought against you. The bringing of such a motion is not for novices, as it requires planning, advanced knowledge of specific case law and the rules of evidence. California brought Code of Civil Procedure Section 425.16 into existence to avoid persons "chilling" our rights to speak up and to petition our government. This motion, if successful, will not only dismiss the case with prejudice, but entitle you to attorney's fees. The ruling can be appealed. Typical lawsuits where the anti-SLAPP can be used are "defamation" and "false light" claims. There's more, to be sure.
This is not legal advice, and is for entertainment purposes only. Nothing herein can be relied upon, and no attorney-client relationship is formed. Always consult a licensed professional in your area before making any decisions affecting your rights. I reserve all rights, including those under California's anti-SLAPP statute.
