If you want to go to court against someone drop your cause , give it to God and love. Others however may help you to learn loving in all situations. They may do so by provocating you, by showing you your weak points in your behavior, they are teaching you and helping you. Be thankful they showed you another area to improve, another step to get closer to God. Thus they may turn out to be your best friends without you knowing and realizing it at all.
Defense is aggression - no matter what the cause.
Your defensive reaction most probably may lead to another Karma for you to suffer any time later. Love can never even be touched by aggression. Keep your mind and your emotions filled with Love - pure, Divine Love. Keep concentrating on God and his everlasting Bliss and Love for you and act as a channel of this Divine Love to all the persons involved in that particular situation. if you don't know what to do at all Love - it's always right to love and it always works. Just do it with all the strength of your heart and all the strength of your soul and pray to god to help you to practice Love all the time.
