Lawsuits Suck

The Ugly Truth

Since you are reading this, I’m guessing that you are involved in one of the estimated 40 million lawsuits filed each year in the US. Whether your involvement was voluntary or involuntary, lawsuits suck. They are stressful, frustrating, and can be horrendously expensive. And frankly, it doesn't really matter which side of the suit you are on. If no one has told you already, let me break it to you: the fact that you are in a lawsuit means you have already "lost." Why? Because even if you win a million dollars at the end of the suit or even if you successfully defend the case, by the time you get there you will have spent countless, sleepless nights, a ton of money, and your priceless time and energy, all of which you can’t, or, likely won’t, get back.

I sincerely hope that you have not been misled to believe that this process is going to be a fun, ass-kicking party that is going to make you rich or put somebody in their “place.” The chances are, even if you are on the “right” side of the case, you are going to have to make compromises which brings its own forms of stress and frustration. The ugly truth is that there are no real “winners” in lawsuits. Everyone pays a price.

The good news is, that with the help of this Survival Guide, you will learn some thoughtful coping skills to carry you through. I’ve held a lot of hands going through this process over the past 25 years and learned some valuable skills to pass along. So, if you are involved in a lawsuit, and you are wringing your hands over the stress and anxiety of it, grab yourself a comfy chair and let me help you.
