## Resource

A Spokane attorney and Human Rights Commission head, Brennan Schreibman, is embroiled in a legal firestorm after allegedly pushing his 73-year-old neighbor, Patrick Monahan, during a heated confrontation. Schreibman claims he acted in self-defense after seeing a box cutter, but Monahan’s family says it was an unprovoked attack — leading them to file a wrongful death suit, even though no criminal charges were pressed. Now, Schreibman has filed his own lawsuit against Monahan’s estate, alleging emotional distress and loss of security, claiming Monahan initiated the violence. He says his family has suffered attacks, job losses, and even home damage. But Monahan’s attorney calls the suit baseless, pointing out Schreibman filed it just before the statute of limitations expired and questions his version since Monahan can’t testify. The feud began at a party where a bonfire drew the fire department, and Monahan showed up upset — Schreibman says he became aggressive with a box cutter, Monahan’s family says otherwise.
