In a civil lawsuit, all the filing costs are paid by the plaintiff, not the defendant. If you know you spoke the truth, and you have solid evidence to back that up, then you really don't need a lawyer. So your monetary costs are this much: $0. Discovery can be time consuming if you are disorganized, but if you already have your evidence documented, as you should have before mouthing off, then it will be no big deal. No more than a few hours.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

I was the defendant ("respondent", actually) in a civil suit. My legal fees exceeded $6,000.

Never go to court without a lawyer unless you've decided that you want to lose.
