Conner Slevin, a local resident paralyzed in an accident in 2020, is suing his former attorney Jessica Molligan who he claims made legal arrangements, sent communications, and negotiated settlements without his knowledge. Molligan allegedly made dozens of ADA violation lawsuits in his name against local Portland businesses with the real goal of making herself rich.

In many cases, the property owners said they didn’t know there was an ADA compliance issue until they received a demand letter from the Portland lawyer. The initial letter didn’t specify what needed to be fixed but proposed a settlement agreement. Molligan wouldn’t sue if the owner agreed to make repairs, bring the property into compliance, and pay attorney’s fees of roughly $10,000 or more.

The only problem is that Slevin didn’t know she was doing all this in his name. She’s now being sued by Slevin.
