“When a Celebrity is Involved the Rules Change”

We recently filed a lawsuit against a famous rapper. When the lawsuit was filed, we made all attempts not to attract media attention. We wanted this to be low key so we could have the lawsuit served on the defendant. However, along the way the word got out. I can only assume that someone in the court system saw the lawsuit and posted the information on a blog on the internet. Once that happened, the news spread like a wild fire. I was shocked at the amount of national and world wide media attention that soon followed. For nearly a week my office was bombarded by calls from Los Angeles, New York and even London. I guess I should not have been surprised by the public’s need for information when the event involved a celebrity. Bottom line is be prepared for anything when the issue involves a celebrity.
