A plaintiff can name an individual and an LLC as defendants in litigation. They can attempt to pierce the "corporate veil" and make the owner liabile for the debts of the LLC. You've got to properly defend yourself and if the case against the individual is frivolous, then you can sue for abuse of process and malicious prosecution. Get an attorney behind you in this case.
