kind of a complicated situation actually. i have a company accusing me of defamation despite the fact that what they're claiming is false is 100% true, i know it and they know it, and it includes some serious shit like tax fraud. they're trying to use legal action to intimidate me into shutting up about it. i've contacted a local solicitor to ask for advice but they're taking forever to get back to me and i just want to set my mind at ease.

essentially, i need to respond to this letter from their solicitor. i know that the primary defense against an accusation of defamation is proving that it is in fact true. i get the feeling that, should i respond stating that i'd be happy to go to court if necessary to prove that it's true, they'll back down because they absolutely do not want this shit going public, but i can't decide if it's worth the risk. proving it's true would prevent them from suing me tho, right? i know p much nothing about law so i can't decide how best to respond to them.

from an only tangentially legal anon (i work in a law firm, don't practice law), do you have any cash to spare? could you get a free consultation from an attorney, bring the letter and proof that you have, and pending what they recommend, either respond yourself or possibly hire them for something like writing a letter back if needed?

i have contacted a local law firm that offers free advice, i'm waiting for them to get in touch with me in order to be able to see if i can get a free consultation and maybe let them look over the letter i have drafted. i don't have much money to spare as i'm between jobs currently, the joy of temp work. i have looked in to free legal aid but defamation is one type of case that doesn't qualify for it though idk if that's the same for defending against an accusation of defamation as accusing someone.

do not respond to them until you have legal representation

easier said than done.
