Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Arkansas

Being sued for defamation & need help

To make a long story short, I testified in a hearing against a person I worked for for a year. Subsequently, this employer lost her professional license and now she is suing everyone who testified for defamation. This hearing was before a licensure board, but it was public. The plaintiff is being very vague and four months later, I still do not know exactly what I am being sued for other than defamation. This lawsuit is pure retaliation and nothing more, still it is a pain to be sued. I don't have the money to spend on an attorney. Also, they are requesting a jury trial.
