You actually raise a couple different issues here. 1. Can Court documents available on PACER lawfully be disclosed on social media? Yes, because they're public records, and the fact that the discloser is a lawyer who is not on your case is irrelevant. 2. Can someone lawfully make fun of you... View More
Someone has posted false information about me on social media which could potentially be very damaging to my personal and professional life.

You should consider immediately demanding a retraction and that the information be removed.

Actually, I wouldn't plan on suing the employer. Employers generally can fire their employees if they want to; they don't need a reason. But if someone else defamed you, you might sue that person if, by taking the deposition of the former employer, you can learn the identity accuser,... View More

It sounds as if you may have been fired in retaliation, but more information is needed. You mention information you learned some information you “shouldn’t have.” Does this relate to illegal activities or activities against company policy that could get management or co-workers in trouble? If... View More

Yes, if your landlord made a statement about you that is false, and made that statement to a third-party, that injured your reputation, then you can file a lawsuit against the landlord for defamation of character.

You've asked this question in " Libel & Slander for Florida", so I must assume that the action for defamation was dismissed with prejudice. In that case, it depends. If the evidence was that the defendant said or published something which was claimed to be defamatory, for... View More

It appears that he is threatening to tell people bad things about you, not physically attack you or anything like that. Arguably it's a threat to defame (slander) you. Could you sue him if he did? I probably wouldn't bother.

Generally speaking, a criminal defense attorney would know best how to navigate the criminal justice system and analyze what is happening in order to tell you if any crimes are actually being committed against you.

You mean sued successfully? Probably not. The prospective employer doesn't need any reason not to hire; employment is "at will" of the employer.
