Love to get awarded legal fees after defeating a lawsuit meant to bully an independent writer.

When Jack Poulson reported on CEO Maury Blackman’s arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, Blackman sued to try to silence him.

We helped defend the case, and we won! On Wednesday, the California First District Appellate Court affirmed that the suit was without merit.

Cases like this are we started Substack Defender.

If you are a powerful person considering lawfare to silence an independent journalist, you should know that we take great pleasure in fighting these cases hard.

If we can make lawfare backfire, we will.

Thanks in advance for the legal fees Mr. Blackman. We’ll put the $240,000 we’ll be recouping toward defending the next independent journalist who someone powerful tries to silence.
