Been reading Cervantes lately, have you? By the way, you're right about the lawyer's bill. Only the wealthy or obsessed can afford to press a suit on principle, unless the principle is broad enough to bring in other parties who will fund the litigation. Litigation is certainly not for the homeless, or those living paycheck to paycheck, but it also is not as expensive as most people believe--even if you use an attorney (which I recommend). There is a wide range of fees charged by different attorneys out there, and a lot of attorneys in the yellow pages. Also, since you are litigating to make a point, and not likely to recover much money from a state employee even if you won a judgement, you can offer an early settlement based on an agreed order that the LEO in question cease his harassing behavior. All in all, I could see this whole exercise not costing more than $6K under the right circumstances, and resulting in a quite favorable outcome. Some people spend more than that to fill up their boat. When and if this guy runs into the wrong person he'll find out about that. Of course, it could also cost a lot more than $6K, and not result in anything favorable. That's the fun part about courtroom roulette. Don W. |
