Legal Defense Fund – Federal Lawsuit Response


I never expected that sharing a personal experience online would result in being sued in federal court.

A lawsuit was filed against me in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida after I shared my experience online.

Defending a federal lawsuit can be extremely expensive even in the early stages. Attorneys I have spoken with explained that responding to the complaint, reviewing the case, and preparing filings can require significant legal fees.

Because of the financial burden involved in defending the case, I am seeking support to help cover legal expenses while I work with counsel and navigate the legal process.

How the funds will be used
• legal retainer for defense counsel
• consultation and document review
• possible settlement negotiation assistance
• court filings and legal preparation costs

Any funds raised will go directly toward legal fees related to responding to the lawsuit.

For transparency, the first page of the publicly filed complaint is included.

I will share updates here as the case progresses.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support.
