Gloria Allred, the high-profile California attorney, told LawNewz.com that she is collecting donations to support the case filed against Donald Trump by former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos. Zervos is suing Trump for defamation after she says he lied about touching her inappropriately.

“We are accepting donations to be used for attorney’s fees and cost on behalf of Summer Zervos. Our attorney’s fees on this case are being charged at a steeply discounted basis and I am not charging for any of my time spent on this case,” Allred told LawNewz.com.

A fundraising website says that all legal costs associated with the case will be paid through public donations, and Zervos will not be “personally responsibly for any legal fees or costs that may be incurred.”

Zervos claims that Trump kissed and groped her in a Beverly Hill hotel room and in New York in 2007. “As I was about to leave, he again kissed me on the lips,” Zervos said. “This made me feel nervous and embarrassed. This is not what I wanted or expected.” Shortly after an Access Hollywood video showed Trump talking inappropriately, 10 women came forward claiming Trump had sexually harassed or assaulted them. During several public appearances, Trump denied the allegations, and said the accusers were lying.

1. A reputable attorney would never do this and it casts doubt on the case

3. I've always gotten the sense that Gloria Allred is more about Gloria Allred than about justice.

6. In that case you are completely ignorant of

Allred's history.

5. She is a very reputable attorney and you are

an unknown poster.

So many men have problems with women seeking justice.

13. This type of case is almost always on a contingency basis by a reputable lawyer..
