Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

Name for protecting a settlement

I want to know the terminology that means to protect a pending legal settlement that involves a great deal of money in which the original names of the people involved are changed so that the information regarding the pending settlement is not public record. i.e., My name is Marcy Smith and I am coming into 100 million dollars, we are close to settling but in the beggining of my lawsuit we did not want other people to know the money that was involved so we filed the suit under some kind of ''umbrella'' is there a name for this?

Re: Name for protecting a settlement

I doubt seriously that you're coming into a 100 million dollars without already having an answer to your question. For that sort of money, your lawyer should have a full English tea ready when you get there and be eager to answer any questions you have.

And for heaven's sake, even if you're only coming into 1 million dollars, what put it into your mind to give your name on an open system like this? It's like a radar for bad guys!
