I will not loose this case, I am 100% sure I will win. The plaintiff knows this and I honestly think he is banking on me folding. I can take this to the end, I was just a little startled over the fact that it was not a given that I would get my attorney's fees back in the end after I win.
I have an arbitration clause in all my contracts/work for hire agreements.

Covers jurisdiction and costs.

I know it's no guarantee of anything but at least it's documented up front. Client does not sign it I turn down the gig. For me reluctance to sign is a huge red flag.
