Yes, there is legal aid for civil cases, but only if you qualify for it. You must be unable to afford a lawyer. Legal aid organizations all have their own income eligibility rules, and they don't all handle the same types of cases. To find out if you're eligible, and if the legal aid organization handles your type of case, you have to contact them. Most have websites with their criteria and contact information.

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.
