Not really. Legal aid provides assistance for criminal charges. Slander is a civil matter.
Added: If you are asking about FREE legal aid (i.e.: a Public Defender), no, Slander is a civil offense and public defenders only defend indigents involved in criminal law matters. If by "legal aid" you mean "free" legal advice - No. This is a civil matter, not a criminal matter.
But you can certainly hire an Attorney and sue for slander. If they feel you have a good case, they may consider taking it on as a contingency fee basis. You will have to prove that this slander ruined your reputation or standing in the community. Unless it was broadcast over the air (TV or radio), you may have a tough time proving it, in which case it is doubtful you will recover even the costs - let alone get the justice you seek.
