My name is Julia Solt, and I’m reaching out for help during one of the hardest times in my life.

On March 30, 2026, while working at a coffee shop in Beverly Hills, I witnessed a man repeatedly approaching and making two women in line uncomfortable, including my girlfriend. He was recording them with Meta glasses. When I stepped in to help, the situation escalated, and he came toward me swinging a tripod. Police were called, and I fully cooperated with them at the scene.

After the incident, my employment at the coffee shop ended. I am now facing a court date in June. I believe my actions were in self-defense and in defense of others, but I urgently need professional legal representation to make sure my side of the story is properly heard in court.

Being unemployed in Los Angeles has made this extremely difficult, especially while also trying to support myself and my partner.

All donations will go toward:

    •    Attorney fees and legal defense

    •    Court-related costs

Every donation helps, no matter the size. If you can’t donate, simply sharing this campaign would mean a lot.

Thank you so much for reading my story and for any support you’re able to give. It truly means the world as I try to move forward.
