Hurry! I’m running out of popcorn!

Bog, I love a good drama! You’d better “win” (whatever that is defined as) though, or I’ll be absolutely crushed.

*chuckle* You live such an interesting life. :)

I like the sound of that! It reminds me of a Penn & Teller show.

It would have been great to “see” this via web-cam. Nothing like a camera (remember the car incident a few weeks back?) to REALLY put things in perspective!

Julie says:

And3rew,
Lawsuits are one big pile of not fun. Just so you know….

Leland says:

How do you remember all these language tidbits?

*Leland adds correct “lawyer” and “attorney” usage to his writing notes…*

gnomic says:

When throwing a lawyer into the mixe its best to use the “frappee” setting.

badman says:

The problem with lawyers is that they will usually strongly advise to sue for in an inordinate amount– this is because they want to make sure it is even worth suing at all (to cover for their own ridiculous legal fees). However, that makes the person suing look like an arse, (”he filed a 1 million dollar lawsuit just for THAT?”) and the sued look like a victim.
In my albeit limited experience, it is never good to bring a lawyer into the picture. They are primarily looking out for their own interests and dollars. Of course they are not all like that and I don’t know who you’re lawyer is, but the bad lawyers give a bad image to the remaining .001% of the good lawyers out there.

Leland says:

I disagree with Badman. A lawyer can keep their client from straying over that line that places the client in a losing situation.

lionemom says:

Badman, one has to exert one’s authority and say, well…NO, if you don’t agree with your attorney’s advice to “sue for an inordinate amount.” It may have been the suit guy (no pun intended) who said it, but it made sense when he said, “An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer” and I believe that holds true for everything.

I tend to believe that Andrew was consulting his attorney to see what this vet who threatened to sue him could actually do. But, of course, that is just my opinion.

Your opinion is noted, but doesn’t really apply to this situation.
