What happens if I didn't get permits for work on an existing property and now I want to get things right? The work includes adding a long pole barn dog kennel, two portable temporary buildings with an attached awning for shade, and a carport on the back of the house. I haven't received any notices or citations from local authorities, but I'm worried about potential consequences and want to resolve the issue.

I am looking for the best lawyer to demand compensation and counter false accusations. He/She will take the case on contingency. I am a retired reporter and member of a human rights organization, supporting a female victim for justice. She was bullied by a successful businessman who has been charged with sexual assault and domestic violence. Now, the businessman, the plaintiff, accused me of threatening and defamation against me in the amount of $5,000,000. I posted an article on FB in August 2023. The article commented on the plaintiff's bad behavior, how he bullied the victim and caused her to attempt to end her life. The plaintiff's lawyer warned me to delete it or make allegations against me. The article was removed but still received the summons, including threatening, assisting in the victim's dissemination of the plaintiff's images, damaging his reputation. Those are false allegations. Evidence includes audio recording, plaintiff's verdicts.
