Subject: Re: [MichiganLymeSupport] WISCONSIN LLMD NEEDS HELP

Hi Everyone,, I just received this email from regarding Dr. Hoffman. I

had a feeling this was going to happen once I saw the charges. Since this

isn't Lyme related and it stems from other issues.

Hello,

I have spoken to my people and I want to assure you that is is going to be

handled. I expect to hear from two different lawyers tomorrow morning.

Doc is on vacation right now and is out of phone range but gave me permission to

hire his attorney and forward all of his relevant information.

My first step will be to ask for a continuance...basically delay this Nov. 16th

date until the lawyer and Dr. Hoffmann have a chance to meet.

Thexton, the attorney going after doc, has been know to cause problems before

for alternative doctors. But he does not win his cases.

I am hoping the lawyer will be able to settle this quickly and quietly. From

reading the information, Thexton does not really have a leg to stand on.

The issues being raised against Doc are not as serious as they were the last

time. This time we have a statewide non-profit group willing to help finance and

fund raise for his defense if it does become a true issue.

This could all turn out to be a technicality and could disappear as fast as it

was raised.

I do think it is important to make a plan if things go sour but at the present

time Doc will have an attorney who will handle it.

Yes, Doc cannot afford this financially or emotionally but I am planning on

asking the lawyer if he would be willing to donate a portion of his fees to our

cause and at our first non profit meeting I will ask that we agree to handle his

legal fees.

I guess what I am rambling on about is this....

Let's not panic. Let's not put the cart before the horse. I do not believe that

Nov. 16th is D-Day.

Please let's all just breathe

Christie
