LOL ... maybe I shouldn't have said anything with a whole weekend ahead of us! Now everyone needs to wait to find out more... sorry!
If anything, it gives us an idea of what might be needed to get our hands on the documents. If this woman doesn't work out there are lots of other lawyers in Croatia, she was just the first to bite and was responsive and professional from what I could see... but it was already late in the day Croatian time when they messaged.
So I'm off to bed, as soon as we hear anything y'all will be the first to know, I promise.

To clarify, she didn't send a quote or proposal yet. The $100/hour is what's listed on her Upwork profile.
I looked at the conversation between them and Inna did say that she expected it wouldn't take more than a few hours, emphasizing we weren't looking for legal advice but just pulling a few documents and a "basic" translation.
This lawyer seemed to ask the right questions, i.e. are we witnesses or what's our involvement (since we're not listed as defendants). She also seemed to check out that page of all the filings and said "it is a minor offence which is prosecutable only privatley from what I can see." No clue what that means but it seems that she did at least poke around for a minute or two.
So, we'll know more next week whether or not she can do anything, but I just wanted to let people know that we at least are taking a stab at it. Keep all your fingers crossed that she can at least retrieve the documents and then we can go from there. If it turns out to be a bust, I'll let people know that as well but let's hope for the best!

@Joel We figured LOL! I assume we'll know more by Monday or Tuesday. We'll keep everyone posted.

FYI everyone Inna got a hit on her job posting, a lawyer in Croatia responded. Inna explained it all to her and the woman looked at that page you provided for us so she seems to understand what we're after.
The lawyer said she could probably pull documents with a limited power of attorney from one of the defendants and do a basic translation. She said she'll put together a proposal/quote for how to move forward and get back to us, but of course it's the weekend so I'm sure we won't get that for a few days.
She charges $100 USD per hour, we're okay with covering up to about $300 so it depends on what she proposes. Hopefully she doesn't have some 10-hour minimum rate or something crazy.
Anyway, we'll keep you posted when we hear back. Everyone keep your fingers crossed in the meantime.

@ Las Malvinas son Argentinas Thanks!
She said she can look at it more later tonight and then maybe tomorrow post a job offer on upwork. She checked today and legal assistants seem to charge $20 - $25 USD per hour in Croatia so it shouldn't be much to just retrieve papers and translate. We can certainly cover that.
Again, it will take some time but we'll keep everyone posted on the progress.

Someone here suggested using Upwork as a place to find someone in Croatia who might help. Inna freelances and has an upwork account, she said she can maybe tackle that if we can give her all the pertinent info (we just don't have time to put it all together).
So can someone post everything needed to send to a legal person in Croatia? I assume it's the court name, judge's name, any case numbers, etc.
It might take a few days to post it and review the freelancers that respond and all that but it's worth at least having her check into it.

Hasn't this dead horse been beaten long enough?
When Lloyd admits that visiting prostitutes is abusive and harmful, apologizes for doing so while supposedly advocating for CSA victims, apologizes to those he keeps hurting to this day (the Magnificent 7 et al) and changes his ways, maybe we'll think of moving on. But as long as that blistering boil on the ass cheeks of society slanders and abuses people, no I'm not going anywhere.
