  I just received a letter from a lawyer who told me that her client is considering suing my company in Virginia and that I must put a “litigation hold” on our records. What does that mean?

• I am a 70 yrs. old woman who gave $30,000 for a business without signing any papers. Have I been scammed?

  Asked in Denver, NC | February 13, 2026

  I was told that I would be paid monthly to repay myself and make a profit. I was supposed to be included in every aspect of the business, including meeting her bookkeeper and her lawyer. It's been 5 months, and I have not seen any money. The only proof I have is that my name was on the money order I gave to the previous owner, and I have a receipt for that.

• Suing business associate for defrauding me. What type of attorney do I need?

  Asked in Brandon, FL | February 10, 2026

  During 2023 I entered into an Airbnb investment arrangement with a long term friend who represented himself as a co-business partner and operates a business focused on managing short-term rental investments. I was led to believe I would earn passive income through co-ownership of Airbnb properties, with promised returns averaging approximately $20k per month. To date, I have received no returns. He instructed me through a third party funding company he works closely with, to obtain high-limit or unlimited business credit cards in my name, which were then used primarily for his benefit. As a result, I am left with approximately $50k in business credit card debt, in addition to $7k paid to him as a business retainer. While there is no written contract, I have extensive text messages and other documentation supporting false representations, misuse of funds, and potential fraud.
