Given she found an attny to take the case, and she’s a waitress, (meaning I doubt she put up a $3000 retainer and paying 200-500 an hour for them to work on the case) I suspect the attny that took this case feels pretty confident they will win.
Yeah, where "win" = threaten the company with prolonged legal proceedings until finally the company gives in and ponies up $XXX,XXX to make you go away.
Awesome.
