Under the First Amendment, all individuals are guaranteed the right to freedom of speech—including speech that criticizes the government. It’s unlawful for the government to censor or retaliate against someone for exercising this right.
In 2021, a local government entity and a private business worked together to retaliate against then-employee *Olivia after she criticized an elected official online.
Olivia promptly sought legal counsel. After several years of litigation without an offer to settle, Olivia’s attorney hired Madia Law to try the case.
Weeks before the scheduled trial date, we secured a $1 million settlement—reflecting the egregiousness of the defendants’ conduct and the emotional distress Olivia suffered as a result.
