Pineapple Support Retains Attorney Corey D. Silverstein

Pineapple Support is pleased to announce a multi-faceted service agreement with adult industry Corey D. Silverstein. In addition to engaging Silverstein’s firm Silverstein Legal as retained counsel, a deal has been struck wherein Silverstein Legal attorneys will be made available at special rates to Pineapple Support clients who require legal services.

Founded by Leya Tanit, Pineapple Support provides free mental health support, psychotherapy and counseling to all persons working in the online adult entertainment industry. The organization is a Delaware non-profit in the process of applying for 501c3, tentatively expecting completion in early 2019.

“Corey Silverstein is a well-known and respected figure in the adult industry. When he offered not only his to council to Pineapple Support but to provide our clients with special rates, I was overwhelmed by his kindness and generosity,” Tanit said.

Since 2006, Silverstein Legal has provided services including business law, civil litigation, contracts, criminal defense, dispute resolution, entertainment law, internet law, intellectual property, first amendment (free speech), media law and more.

“Finding an attorney with such extensive knowledge of the adult industry is extremely hard and generally expensive. Corey’s help has allowed Pineapple Support to free up much needed resources and enabled us to provide therapy to more performers and producers who need our help,” Tanit added.

Tanit feels that the availability of special legal rates to those coming to Pineapple Support for emotional support and therapy will help ensure a level of safety and education, making a huge difference to many in the industry. Silverstein expressed similar, related sentiments.

“Mental health and support services has often been a neglected area in the adult industry and it’s clear that Pineapple Support is being built to quickly fill the gap,” said Silverstein. “In speaking with and getting to know Leya Tanit, it became clear to me that [her] passion and desire to improve support services for performers is the driving force in her life. Leya inspired me to want to help…”

The need for an organization like Pineapple Support is significant. Tanit said, “Without discrimination, judgement or stigma, Pineapple Support will alleviate the isolation felt by many performers.”
