since it's hard to win and will end up burning through billable hours, she'd need a good lawyer and that lawyer wants to know he'll get paid. unless they are that interested in publicity, the only way she would be attractive to a lawyer, as already mentioned would be to pay a signifigant amount asap. if she had the cash,plenty of attorneys wouldn't touch a case with such an slim chance of a settlement unless she was in failing health and wouldn't make it to trial.

jrv, on the other forum i was the guy(minus the -boston here) talking about visas you replied to---for the hell of it i sent some hypotheticals back to the old gig. i didn't reply there since it's a no-win seeing they haven't done anything yet and i'd like to see the girl get her money. basically, if it's for over a year, they'd have trouble finding a reputable lawyer. if they could, they'd want 5-10k, refundable if applicable, just to open the file. the good firms make their money off large companies and their higher-paid workers. you know you're going to get paid back, barring freak bankruptcy filings, a porn studio doesn't have that kind of credit. and for a 1-case deal, the adult industry is something to avoid on your client list, since it's not viewed favorably by the rest of your bread and butter clients and they tend to bring attention/audits that you don't need.
obviously, i have no idea about the details of the contract, but if they can get a visa, it's not going be cheap,
