Thanatos340 1 #1 May 27, 2005 OK, Actually I fought a MAJOR Multi-Billion Corporation.. And I won. For the past 2 years I have been fighting a Lawsuit filed against me in Federal Court by a Huge Corporation over some technology I bought 4 years ago. They felt this perfectly legal technology could intercept their signal and were therefore entitled to over $70,000.00 in damages plus attorney’s fees. Every lawyer I talked to wanted at a $5,000 retainer to answer the complaint for this lawsuit and it would have cost me at least double that to fight this as long as I did with a Lawyer. I fought them Pro Se. (No Lawyer, They had 9 attorneys locally handling my case and a huge legal staff at the corporate offices directing them). 2 years staying up all night worrying, Trying to learn the FRCP (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure), Writing Motions and learning the Civil Justice system as best as I could. It all paid off. It is finally over. In the end, This cost me nothing but loss of sleep, Blood, Sweat and Tears and I now have a very good understanding of how our civil justice system works. I learned a hell of a lot about how our judicial system works. But the most important thing I learned was that if you fight them tooth and nail all the way, the small guy can still prevail. Man this feels good!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still needs to get his ass out to LP, though."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
