Tamara Lich, who was behind more than $ 10 million in fundraising efforts to support the Ottawa protests, has hired Ottawa-based criminal lawyer Lawrence Greenspon.
Lich and Chris Barber are jointly charged with disorderly conduct, counseling, obstruction of police, counseling for obstruction of police, counseling for intimidation and intimidation by blocking or obstructing one or more highways.
Lich was arrested on February 17, denied bail, but later released on March 7 on the condition that she leave Ottawa within 24 hours, abstain from social media and have no contact with certain co-organizers.

Diane Magas represents Barber and Lich, but now she just represents Barber.
Greenspan is expected to challenge the terms of the Leach warranty, in particular as regards the use of social media.
The start date of the trial has not been set yet.
