If she sues you we would simply handle it as part of the process of the law suit so there would be no cost to you unless we collect. From: jim rowe [mailto:jroweusmc@yahoo.com]

Subject: Re: Civil Suit against the Klay's One more question. In the event that she sues me, would you defend me, and what would it cost? My concern is obviously shelling out more money and possibly having a net loss, when to be honest I have a pretty unstable employment situation right now.

Subject: Civil Suit against the Klay's Questions before we move forward. 1. Does this open me up to a potential counter-suit from them against me? She can of course sue you or countersue you. A common tactic by lawyers is to sometimes countersue to scare you. If I were to guess, I would say that this is a possibility. She has no chance of success. A law suit would expose her to all the things that we were prohibited from bringing up in the criminal trial. 2. What kind of a time commitment will this take on my end? Maigen's major concern is that this will be a huge stressor and it will take up a lot of our time. There is not much of a time commitment. You will have to be deposed. It would be under oath and transcribed. It will not take time from you except that you may be required to speak to me a few times during the court of the law suit. 3. Will this be settled in a matter of months or years? I anticipate it will take 12-16 months from start to finish. 4. How realistic is it that we win and what would be a reasonable amount of payment to expect? I give our chances of prevailing a 90% likelihood.

Jim.
I'm glad to see you're out and that you got to spend Christmas at home. I'm ready to file when you say go. Once you let me know, I will send you a retainer agreement, all I'll need is your signature. You don't have to pay up front for this one. I collect when you collect.

I know you both gave me wise counsel, yet I let the emotion and frustration of this all coming to an end come out while speaking. Again, sorry about that.
