I wanted to let everyone know that the day before the final court date ( after several delays and other motions), they did drop the lawsuit. It was full of drama. I'll spare you the details, but the short story is their lawyer actually quit on them in court, on the first day. The judge was not amused and gave them 2 days to find new counsel. They found another lawyer who apparently talked some sense into them and convinced them to drop the case. Unfortunately this left us with the decision to pursue the motion to sanction or drop it and allow them to drop the case. If they lost that they would have had to pay my lawyers fees. But my lawyer counseled me to drop the sanction and allow them to drop their suit. He said there's just no way to know what the judge might be thinking. He did force them to sign a Consent Decree. This gives us a fast track towards a frivolous lawsuit if they try anything again. I appreciate all the support and words of encouragement!

From my experiences, judges are very lenient on jerks who file suits, including multiple suits, so dropping the mess is probably best. I have a few judgments that were noncollectable; very expensive pieces of paper that just add to the aggravation.
