Hajia4Real’s legal counsel was replaced in November 2023.
This choice was made after she split from Adam Cortez, her lawyer from the beginning of her legal case.
On November 8, 2023, Hajia4Real filed a request for a change of counsel with the US court. On November 9, 2023, the request was approved.
She then hired Ms. Eleanor Fast of “The Fast Law Firm PC” to take care of her case moving forward.
Her choice to change attorneys was made for reasons that were not made public.
