My attorney did advise going in it could be expensive. We just had a meeting this morning and I asked flat out how much he thought it was going to take to get this through trial, he really did not answer, so I threw a number out there of $25K and he replied, "Minimum".

I am already about 20K in to this, its killing me financially. We petitioned the Judge to toss the case but was denied. Does that mean its not "frivolous" well, I guess that is a matter of opinion.

The person that should be sued is dirt poor and it would be akin to getting blood from a stone. So the next in line was me because I have a legitimate business and insurance.

I think he thought my insurance would settle by now, but low and behold I am not using my insurance because I did not want him hitting it up, I am footing this bill myself. So the joke is on him.... sort of..... I think....

I had the balls to fight this guy head on I guess I should just grow them bigger and dig in.

BTW- He is filthy rich, owns 100's of acres of land along a commercial corridor that is booming. He is not hurting for money, he even has retained 2 attorneys on this case.
