Litigation, Who Has War Stories?

…Fees clause in full annoying parasite bully who just exposed herself to legal liability while trying to hurt my wife and I for an imagined injury. Holy crap. What a world.

When does football start again?

You’re looking forward to Gator football for emotional relief?!?

The lawsuit has been like pulling teeth on a semi monthly basis. There isn't an amount of money that can make up for all the pain and headaches. By the fall, it will be over, and I'll be watching Gators, win, lose or draw.

The question will be wether it's worth another lawsuit to punch a bully in the mouth. She's an unhinged monster who declared in writing that she will "**** us anyway she can," even if it comes back on her. Welp, she'll now have to answer for her mountain of lies. I assume the courts don't like it very much when someone tries to manipulate them to exact personal revenge (without basis).

Good luck. It sounds like she deserves some grief in her life.

She's already a miserable person. I could just let the revenge take care of itself.

Not sure I can handle more court proceeding and ******* lawyers. My guy can't wait to sue her (of course he can't wait - fees, fees, fees.).

I might would try and sue her with any legal fees to be paid to your attorney "in addition to" your award... Is that possible?

 

[CDGator]

That sounds awful @Egor's Assistant . I hope you can wrap up the whole ordeal soon. Did the neighbor’s purchase price allow for a profit after it was all said and done? Hope this latest suit wraps up quickly.


when I was going through medical issues I strongly considered suing the Dr. I wanted my life back, not money. My SIL is an attorney and she laid out how long, drawn out and exhausting a lawsuit would be. I wasn’t willing to relive all of that in court.

Everybody talking about the emotional strain of litigation, can you imagine being DJT?
And all of his are BS while they're simply trying to prevent him from running.

A bully, female pot-grower (we lived in NorCal at the time) who was growing her crop on a far corner of our 20 acres (without our knowledge or consent) begged us to sell her our charred 20 acres. She was another adjacent neighbor and had been growing around 400 pounds of the sticky icky on our property for the past 3 years. If we put our property on the open market she would have to bulldoze her garden. Naturally, she paid through the nose for it, and we packed off to Missouri to help take care of my MIL.

The very season after this unfortunate shrew bought our land, the price of illegal cannabis cratered and she was underwater on the new acquisition. So she decides to sue us for insufficient disclosures about the lawsuit over the easement. She asks for $500K and demands a refund on the land, plus interest and emotional damages because we extorted her into purchasing it. We are now contemplating a countersuit. The details make for a great story but I want to be careful about what I share until we decide what to do about her.

Man, I feel for you lawyers. Complicated, petty, mean business.

In my first divorce, no children involved, I told my wife all I wanted was what I had before we married. She could have everything else.....
Her father had given us a reel to reel tape deck for a wedding gift. I had recorded dozens of tapes and she didn't even know how to turn it on. She said she didn't want it and took everything else out of our apt except my clothes and several personal items of mine. About a week later her Lawyer notified me that the soon to be x-wife demanded her tape deck that I had hidden from her. I told the Lawyer that she could have it any time, just give me a time for her to pick it up. The next day I received a call notifying me that she would be at our apt. at 6:30. I told them that she couldn't come up to the apt. (2nd floor), she could wait down stairs and I would send it down. At the appointed time she beeped her horn, I stepped out on the patio and told her it would be right down. I picked up the deck and tossed it over the railing and heard a loud crash followed by angry screaming as I closed and locked the door. The next day her Lawyer called in a rage threatening Legal action...... In my humblest tone I told her I didn't understand why my x-wife didn't accept the Air Mail........ Believe it or not, I never heard anything about the tape deck again except the Apt. Manager asking me to clean it up.

In the fictional account you presented did said fictional land buyer order or receive a survey during her fictional due-diligence period where any recorded fictional easement might have been shown?

Crazy lady was an adjacent neighbor who had run-ins with our problem neighbor (the easement guy) pre-dating our arrival to the area. She listened to us complain about him numerous times. She even texted us that we should "sue that ass hole," over the easement issues yet pretended to the court she didn't know about them. During escrow, Crazy and her mom walked the easement together and texted us about that as well. She had full knowledge of everything about our land. Being an adjacent neighbor, she had more knowledge than any stranger to the area could possibly have. She spent 4 months deciding on the price (negotiating with us), and rejected the idea of a one year lease to give her more time to decide (and raise funds.).

She simply has buyer's remorse and wants her money back before she goes completely broke. She's convinced herself that I purposely ripped her off "knowing full well" what would happen the following year. So what happened? One short year after her ill-timed purchase, the price of cannabis fell by nearly 50% from around $800 per pound to around $400. The value of the land also tanked, peaking in 2021 when she purchased it. She put into the lawsuit that she pays around 10% interest on her $220K loan from her "uncle." So she's paying a couple grand per month in interest to her uncle. She likely pays him in cannabis mailed to his east coast address. The cannabis business is filled with NUTS. So glad to not be among them anymore. Legalize the stuff already and be done with these imitation gangsters.

To answer your question more directly, we did a boundary survey earlier in the year before we sold. That's when we discovered that her entire 360 pounds-per-year garden near the far corner of our property was over the line. OVER THE LINE! Over the line with no tribute. Unacceptable. Turns out she had moved the property line marker to suit her needs and pretend she didn't know.

I would have taken all the weed on my property.

Is she even growing legally? How is she in any position to raise a fuss?

Sorry to hear about all your issues. Like a bad case of the clap, she just won’t go away.

About 14 yrs ago I had a company we were doing business with go bankrupt on a bonded government job in Miami. It was a subcontractor I was required to hire since they had a proprietary system for which there were no substitutions.

When he went belly-up, the lawyers attached all the materials—I couldn't touch them. The system was to be fabbed off site then trucked to the site. Being a Federal job, any jobsite labor had to be performed at prevailing wage (Miami scale). Off site assembies had no such wage scale. About half the wall assemblies were fabbed and ready to ship when subcontractor filed. (I found out later he was in trouble on other jobs as well) Since I couldn’t touch them (they were not usable for any other purpose), and l was forced to build the wall assemblies (casting beds, structural metal studs, rebar, concrete, forms and inserts for each wall section) at the jobsite—all at union scale for form carpenters, rod busters, concrete finishers.

This cost me about $400k over and above my contract. The sub went straight liquidation, there were many creditors and I was way down the list. Lawyers cost me $100k. Ouch.

People in NorCal are bat-**** crazy. They have no fear of the law or the IRS. My lawyer told me they don't even prosecute cannabis crimes in our county anymore. He asked her where she got a suitcase with a hundred thousand dollars in it. Her answer was, "she was a waitress in town for a decade and had saved the money to buy land." I honestly think this woman may be the world's greatest gaslighter. She's one of the those people who believe if you never admit to lying, then no one can prove otherwise. It's her truth. Reminds me of Fani Willis but without the badge.

That would be very hard to overcome. I assume you did and your business had a happy ending? But sheeeeeeeiiiiiit, very unfair obstacle. Must of driven you mad. And then to throw another $100K down the toilet. Fuch that. What did the anger management therapy cost ya?

Average about $30 per bottle.

2008 - 2011 was a tough stretch in the contracting business. Jobs were few and far between. Contractors were bidding at cost to keep employees not knowing how long the downturn would last. When this job went south we sold our primary residence at a time when real estate was depressed. We moved into an investment property we owned that I had been fixing up.

So we raised cash that way— the equity in our home. And we cashed in 401ks and stock investment portfolio. For a while we ran credit cards up and lived very frugally. I turned the keys back to the bank on a commercial property- we had to walk away from it— couldn’t afford the $3000 / mo payments with no good jobs coming in and cash hemorrhaging.

This definitely delayed our retirement plans. I was advised to file myself but refused to do so. We paid all our bills and finished that job. I worked two jobs for a while—still had the construction company and went to work selling materials for someone else. Quite a humbling period. Business came back though and we had some very good years, especially the last 3 or 4.

That kind of gut-wrenching roller coaster is why some people prefer to work for others. Get that guaranteed paycheck for their efforts. Many people don't realize what business owners can suffer through .

Wow, just wow. That’s quite a rollercoaster ride. Wishing you and your family the best from here on out.
