him & his co-workers (lawyers) have probably done this a bunch of times... the fucker even served me right here at my door step with his wife

the sad part is it was the affilaite that caused this problem but he still filed suit against us.. really no way to win when that happens especially if they dont pay anything for legal costs :/
Yep? lawyers know the exact sweet spot in terms of low-ball G?s to sue you for to get you to settle. The amount to take it to court is always going to be higher so unless you have a guaranteed win and you are able to counter sue for your lawyer fees it will never be worth it ? unless you are some kind of moralistic hippie douche bag trying to prove something.
