Can you sue that person back?
The person has witnesses and notarized statements proving that person has done nothing wrong.

You can counterclaim. If this is a baseless lawsuit, you can sue for abuse of process. However, this is a mandatory counterclaim. If you have answered the lawsuit, move to amend it and add the counterclaim. If you have not answered it, add the counterclaim to your answer. AND, get a lawyer.

Well, I would need to know more about the case, but if the circumstances were right, you could counter sue for defamation of character/slander, etc. There is no basis for a fraud claim by the defendant against the plaintiff of the original case. People can sue you for anything. The attorney in the matter would be better able to decide what to do under the circumstances because he or she would have all of the documentation in front of him or her.

Prove the fraud and sue the person for slander. If this goes to court your good name is going to get dragged through the mud.

once the person is proven innocent he or she will be able to sue the person back only if it caused you some type of pain like emotional pain is what i would say this case has caused me a only sue for a reasonable amount of money.

Are you another victim of John Edwards?
He made millions with his frivolous lawsuits.
We will all pay for his lawsuits for the rest of our lives.
Edwards made millions off of us working people.
(AND, he may be the next President, or Hillary's VP.)
We are sooooooo screwed!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

can always countersue for damages, or ask the judge in the current case to award damages based on the fraudulent claim.
