Monroe County Defamation & Forensics Lawyer

FLORIDA DEFAMATION AND DIGITAL-FORENSICS ATTORNEY NEEDED – MONROE COUNTY I am seeking a sharp, experienced Florida-licensed attorney to evaluate and potentially handle a civil defamation matter in Monroe County, Florida. The matter arises from an existing lawsuit in which I was accused of uploading defamatory videos intended to damage the plaintiff’s reputation. A jury verdict was entered against me. However, an independent digital-forensic investigation conducted by Stacy Eldridge, a former FBI investigator, found no evidence establishing that the videos were uploaded by me, through my account, from my device, or from Florida. I believe this forensic evidence could have materially affected the outcome if it had been properly presented and explained during the trial. I need an attorney to: 1. Review the complete court record, pleadings, trial documents, judgment, appellate history, and applicable deadlines. 2. Review the independent digital-forensic report and supporting technical evidence. 3. Determine whether any viable post-judgment remedy, motion for relief, further appellate remedy, independent action, or other legal claim remains available. 4. Evaluate whether prior counsel’s handling or omission of the forensic evidence created any separate legal issue. 5. Advise whether additional examination by a qualified digital-forensics or cybersecurity expert is needed. 6. Develop and pursue the strongest legally supportable strategy in Monroe County or the appropriate Florida court. Required qualifications: * Currently licensed and in good standing with The Florida Bar * Significant Florida civil-litigation experience * Demonstrated experience with defamation, libel, or slander matters * Experience with post-judgment proceedings and appeals * Strong understanding of digital evidence, IP attribution, account access, metadata, authentication, and expert testimony * Experience practicing in Monroe County or Florida’s Third District is strongly preferred * Excellent legal analysis, courtroom skills, and written advocacy Fee arrangement: I am seeking a reasonable fixed-fee or milestone-based arrangement. I cannot undertake an open-ended, high-rate hourly engagement. I am open to beginning with a paid, fixed-fee case assessment consisting of: * Conflict check * Review of the essential case documents and forensic report * Consultation * Written assessment of available remedies, deadlines, risks, and recommended strategy If a viable path exists, the attorney should then provide a separate fixed-fee or milestone-based proposal for representation. To apply, please provide: * Your Florida Bar name and number * Relevant defamation and post-judgment experience * Experience working with digital-forensic evidence and expert witnesses * Familiarity with Monroe County and the Third District Court of Appeal * Your proposed fixed fee for the initial case assessment * Your earliest availability * A brief explanation of how you would approach the preliminary review All case documents will be provided confidentially after identity verification, a conflict check, and execution of an appropriate confidentiality agreement. This posting seeks an honest legal evaluation. No particular result is expected or guaranteed.
