Imagine you are working one day at your small business and receive a notification from GoDaddy that your corporate website is being forfeited to someone you wrote a truthful, but negative article about. Then, to add an insult to an injury, you discover that there is a $250,000 judgement against you from a lawsuit you just lost ... but were never aware of!

Meet Melayna Lokosky, a nationally recognized federal whistleblower who is alleged to have been the victim of another Kelly Warner "default" judgement.

Here's the background story, according to court filings:

Russell Ruffino hired Attorney Daniel Warner (hereinafter "Plaintiffs") to sue Lokosky for allegedly making "false statements" on her website.

"Without ever serving Ms. Lokosky or providing her with notice of the lawsuit, Plaintiffs obtained a default judgement (The failure to notify Ms. Lokisky of the pending litigation despite having numerous opportunities to do so is another examples of Plaintiffs' abusive litigation tactics).   In early January 2017, Plaintiffs used the default judgement to compel the transfer of ownership of Ms. Lokosky's website to Plaintiffs. This was Ms. Lokosky's first notice of the first lawsuit.

Upon receipt of this notice, Ms. Lokosky immediately applied for a temporary restraining order to have ownership of her website returned to her and simultaneously moved to vacate or set aside the default judgment ... the Superior Court completed an evidentiary hearing and vacated Platintiffs' default judgement against Ms. Lokosky."

Plaintiffs then filed a new lawsuit "against 'John Doe' Defendants to circumvent the jurisdiction of the original matter that is currently on appeal ... Plaintiffs have clearly filed a Complaint intended for Ms. Lokosky, but have refused to name her as a party so that due process is not available to her."

"Ms. Lokosky became aware that the State Bar of Arizona had initiated formal proceedings against Plaintiffs' counsel for engaging in a series of nearly identical abuses of legal process wherein they name 'John Doe' defendants and submit false documents to court. The State Bar Complaint depicts a series of abusive litigation tactics (against Daniel Warner and his partner Aaron Kelly of the Kelly Warner Law Firm) using the same methods — file a 'John Doe' lawsuit then obtain an alleged admission from an unnamed party."

According to sources, both Warner and Kelly have accepted an open plea bargain to the State Bar of Arizona for their previous involvement in alleged legal fraud. A continuance has been granted while these attorneys seek more letters of support from "character witnesses" to hopefully mitigate their punishment.
