What a joke. I hear squeals of self-righteousness and "oh-my-gods", and have to laugh. I have been a businessman most of my life, self-employed or as a contractor.
I have been plaintiff in Federal Court four times. I was the plaintiff. I had contracts that the others didn't wish to fulfill. I had done everything required. More often, I had gone far beyond what was asked. But, I found out that most lawyers don't know much about the law.
Four times a plaintiff, and never hired an attorney. I was a General Contractor and licensed Real Estate Broker. I never lost. I got what I was owed, or in the case of a Complaint against the State of WV, I got what I sued for... and they changed a law due to my claim!
Lawyers are more about "billable hours" than they are the Law. I won mostly because I wore them down with interrogatories and requests for documents. They finally figured out I would go away if they paid me. Once, I got more than I was owed because of egregious actions attempted at the beginning, and subsequent penalties by the Judge!
