I cannot summarize this, just start from the beginning and stop when you get too angry, but make sure you at least read past the initial sexual harassment by the employer to get to where Habba’s misconduct takes over.

edit: in case anyone is wondering, this level of coercion and malpractice to silence someone could result in her disbarment, eventually

    Treat lawyers like strangers: If you go to them for help, you can probably trust the relationship. If they come to you to help, fucking run.

    I’ll summarize.

    Plaintiff was a server at Bedminster. Coerced into sex by a manager, for “protection.” Plaintiff hires her own attorney. Habba comes along, convinces plaintiff to A) fire her attorney, B) accept a small settlement, and C) sign an illegal NDA. Plaintiff’s new attorney is requesting that the NDA be voided, and that Habba be referred to th ethics board.
