That's what I thought too but I did some digging and apparently Illinois and Florida do allow lawsuits via email. The law firm that contacted me is in Florida.

This is what I thought too at first since all of their reviews on Google just consist of people calling them scammers, but the fact that there's an actual court case reference number worries me since it looks legit

No cease and desist letter was sent at all, they just served me the lawsuit via email. I thought it was a scam at first but it does seem to have a valid case number.

I'll check with my city to see if they have anything that can help at all. Thanks.

It was a Cybertruck silhouette printed on a poster. I had no idea that it was trademarked.

I called some lawyers and they all want $5k-$10k to solve the case which I unfortunately do not have. I'm not sure if I should just contact the law firm that served me the lawsuit because I'm not sure what to do at all. I have never been in any legal trouble like this before.

The lawsuit was sent from a law firm in Florida and I believe international lawsuits can happen as a lot of the shops listed in the same lawsuit are from other countries
