Have you ever been somewhere where EVERYONE is unhappy? Welcome to the world of litigation. If you are going to go this direction, you need to understand the costs, risks and time that will involved in going through the process. It will not be easy. It will not be fun. And there are no guarantees!!

The two most common questions that I get are:

  1. Why do I have to pay to collect money due to me if I am right?
  2. Why do I have to pay to defend myself against a frivolous suit?

The answer? BECAUSE.

Because that is the way the system is set up. I cannot do anything to change that setup. However, I can make sure that you understand it, and that you take action to protect yourself in the future or put you in a stronger position for future recurrences of the same type of conduct.

People also ask, “Can I get sued for that"?

The answer is ALWAYS yes.

Someone can sue you at anytime, for any reason, or for no reason at all. They may not prevail, they may not have a good case, they may not have a lot of factual support, but you WILL have to pay real dollars to defend yourself from that litigation.

Be aware of what creates litigation, and be prepared to try to implement procedures to reduce that risk.
