Send me an email if you can -- as an attorney, I'm bound by the attorney-client privilege not to reveal anything you tell me (unless you plan to kill someone or something) and I might be able to point you in the right direction on how to solve your problem without incurring any fees. I can't agree to represent you without knowing more about the case, but I would be bound by the a/c privilege not to reveal anything you tell me regardless. And as an attorney who bills by the hour, I can tell you that low fees are great, but no fees are a lot greater. Get some blogosphere help. It's free.

This is about the dumbest thing I think I have ever heard. First, post anything you receive from attorneys. The public outrage this creates almost always gets attorneys to back off. I posted a cease & desist letter I got one time, it got linked from instapundit, and the putative plaintiff in the case scrambled to find a hole to hide in within 48 hours. It's perfectly within your rights to post any correspondence you receive. Second, contact the electronic frontier foundation, judicial watch, or other public interest law firms to see if they'll provide you with pro-bono assistance, or at least refer you to a reduced fee attorney. It's always worth it to get good legal advice, and in many cases like this it's not hard to get it for free. Good attorneys may be able to turn this into somewhat of a payday for you, in some cases. Above all, be cautious but don't let them think you're afraid because of this utterly brain-dead move on their part. They are complete idiots. Think of how the frenchmen in the castle responded to Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and that'll give you an idea of how highly you should regard this goofy legal misconduct.
