Oh, I'm not doubting that they couldn't possibly be dishonest lawyers. I've dealt with quite a few lawyers in my lifetime that were...shall we say...pure scum, putting the pursuit of a dollar over any passion for actual law first.

I was just pointing out to you, that we now live in an age where money is the rule of law in our legal system, not the pursuit of right vs. wrong...and you've received a cease and desist request from a law firm that is comprised of ex-military/ex-law enforcement personnel, now specializing in corporate law, primarily the pennies. Could you afford to defend yourself should they haul you into litigation? It would be very expensive if they are tenacious in their endeavors, which ex-military are prone to be.

See, I've had to use lawyers quite a bit the past decade in a couple of lawsuits I pursued, something I hadn't had to do for much of the previous 25 years, excluding a couple of real estate closings along the way. I was quite shocked at how our legal system changed during that time. Today...it is no longer the administration of law that runs our courts...it is money that is king. Lawyers pursue it, judges encourage quick settlements over expensive jury or bench trials in an overburdened, overwhelmed legal system. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I respect the DD you put in...I was just questioning if you could afford the legal sticker shock should you push it now that you've whacked the legal beagles upside the head and got their attention. IMO, there ain't nuthin' worse in our society today than a lawyer that sees billable hours just around the bend.
