I cross-complained for unpaid technical support bills. There have been many other verdicts and settlements too numerous to count. Thank you for taking the time to read this little summary of some of the highlights of my last six years as a practicing attorney. It is the last resort. It is not a first resort.
Litigation is expensive and risky.
It is often better avoided, even if it means eating a modest loss. Litigation is a last resort, reserved for those situations where you've really tried to resolve your differences, to no avail. Litigation is also reserved for those situations where the game is worth the candle. If the matter is so small that you can comfortably afford to walk away, walk away. Don't litigate over minor inconveniences or aggravations.
