Defamation Of Character In A Civil Suit

[Dalldav]

Our issue requires defamation within the state-of: Baltimore<br />
Our partner was to complete employment to get a friend, obtained a deposit within the type of a check, but was not able to do the job. He's not delivered the cash, as he's awaiting the sub contractor to come back the supplies and obtain the money back.<br />
The friend went towards the court and submitted a civil suit against my roommate in addition to ME - they declare that I recommended the seek advice from my partner. They're extremely unaware, and mustn't have paid interest the the trademark about the check - it was not quarry! They thought that since we're roommates that I assisted him money the check.<br />
Today my title continues to be medication right into a civil suit, that I've PRACTICALLY NOTHING related to. I'm likely to need to inform my employer that I Have been summoned to courtroom, and certainly will need to skip a times' function as a result of this nonsense.<br />
Do I've a legitimate match for defamation of personality?

As near as I can tell, no.

They made a mistake.
You show up for court, show the signature is not yours, then you go home.
