simple solution

don't use the sopa takedown if the lawyer tells there is a chance you will lose.

If he says a guarantee there is no way you will lose, his malpractice will cover that loss.

get a court injunction (go thru due process protected court procedures first)
sue for actual damages
sue for statutory damages (and then get counter sued for 25k per person denied access)
dmca files one at a time (there by only losing the copyright on the individual files wrongfully claimed).

pick the acceptable risk/reward choice that makes sense for you given the predicted likelihood of losing the case.
