Is Meowth Worth a Lawsuit?

Is Meowth Worth a Lawsuit?

To all you die hard Pokémon Go players out there, private property is still private property, even if Meowth is standing over the fence in the middle of a yard.

I’m not sure that once you stand in front of a Judge that he is going to understand that it took you several days to find Meowth and the difficulties in catching him, that caused you to jump a fence, or break a window and go into someone’s home just to catch that digital little monster.

In the spirit of things here is my feeble attempt at some Pokémon Go advise to stay out of trouble.

I’m taking time to warn you,

which may seem Oddish, possibly Zubats

Certainly not Farfetch’d if you Dewott I am saying

Do not take any Chansey and break in any homes.

An Ostrich?

    The other side of that, is you act like an ostrich putting your head in the sand, and pretend you never got served.  This is the worst possible thing you could do.  Do not sit on that summons.

     The cost of a litigation attorney will depend on what type of case is being litigated. Lawyers will vary the approach fees differently. You could be billed hourly, contingency, or a flat fee.  For instance, if it’s a personal injury case, chances are the fee is based on a contingency. Cases taken on a contingency means you don’t have to pay anything up front, and if you win your case, your lawyer will take out a pre-established percentage.  If your lawyer has taken a case based on contingency, chances are you have a strong case.

"Barracuda"

Automatically, you start looking for that lawyer that will “fight” for your defense.  You look for that “Pitbull” or “barracuda”, but the truth of it is you want that attorney that is “civil” and offers professional courtesies to opposing lawyers.  Basically, to keep the case moving, you don’t want to fight over every detail, but to work with opposing counsel to avoid any unnecessary costs and expenditures.  We all, at some time or another, fall into that need to be right, and that can be costly.

Don't Sit On It!

     Civil litigation is a legal dispute between two or more parties that seek money damages.  Simply put, somebody is getting sued. Being involved in a lawsuit can be, to some, a frightening, confusing, and to say the least, frustrating time in one’s life.

 So if you should be served a summons, by all means, don't sit on it!  Respond.  The clock is ticking on this one.
