    Small Claims court generally only handle cases of actual loss. Defamation type suits would require civil court.

    There are two elements of a defamation suit. First is the defamation, second is the loss. You not only have to prove the defamation, but that you were harmed by it. I would ask the police to pursue the false police report and a harassment charge

    You can talk to the DA about criminal charges for filing a false police report ( did they file two ) not sure what the file with attorney was all about?
