Today, I got the good news that one of my cases got settled simply for no money. One of my defendants was sued by a company outside of Illinois. My client hired Robertson Law Group, LLC and we filed a counter claim against the Plantiff, which is a business outside of the state of Illinois.
The Plaintiff's attorney withdrew from legal representation because the counterclaim made Plaintiff's collection case worthless. Due to our counter claims, the company outside of Illinois had to hire an attorney to represent its' interest. The Plaintiff decided to settle the matter and dismiss the counter claim because the costs of attorney's fees and costs would make this matter unworth it to pursue litigation.
My basic point a counter claim is an effective defense strategy against a Plaintiff. A Plaintiff should be careful prior to pursuing litigation to make sure their assets are properly protected. Often times, a Defendant wants to counter sue the PLaintiff. Therefore, a counter suit is an effective and good strategy in trying to decrease the value of any settlement or claim.
