That’s why I’m interested in contacting your lawyer.
Not as a representative, but as a consultant who knows the laws of your country. I want to know more about the things she guided you on; I mean, I don't think you'd want to share that for free if you paid for it. So, I would like to hear from the same person who advised you, precisely because she already has experience in this and knows what she's talking about. I want to avoid exactly all the things you are warning me about
All she did was what any lawyer can do, and what you pay for.
Go through validity of legal letter, press charges for blackmail ( if applicable, very strict to send legal letters here ), get opposing lawyer license to practice law revoked (if applicable). And so on.
If not applicable, review merit of claim made in legal letter, review what the complaint is, what the law actually mandates, what would be required to comply with the complaint, if required.
and naturally the thing you actually pay a lawyer for, correctly responding to legal letters. Can't do that as a private person.
resolution was accepted by whomever partner firm, NDA signed (already expired by now).
if you want advice, here's a free one:
Don't accept money or any form of gift, ever.
Help someone with anything even tertiary related to subject of what you're doing? They want to give you a coffee? discord nitro? paypal you money?
Can't do that, can't solicit either, cannot have a passive "if you want to support me -> link to means to give you money".
don't gain a profit motive, as you are ever actually litigated against, it can make what was a civil case into a criminal case. (* should be noted it'd be a double jeopardy situation, so that's not most of your concerns, but civil case would most likely end up in settlement / you losing if it is ever brought up)
(EX: copyright violations or provisions within the DMCA that can be attributed to what would be considered a copyright violation, if done with a profit motive, is a felony (or equivalent) internationally (the legal definition of what "piracy" is, as opposed to how people say they "pirate things" (download for free), "piracy" is when copyright violations are done with profit motive, counterfeiting, bootlegging, etc., i.e. criminal case with jail time, and is something you can get extradited for to face trial elsewhere, if pursued)
(not that the DMCA is valid here legally speaking, we have similar laws, but the DMCA is not applicable here.)
