Q: Case law where the architect of a baseless cease & desist letter is liable for the legal fees of the letter receiver
I received a baseless cease and desist letter. They want to do a settlement agreement (after realizing they had no case) but are unwilling to make me whole in regards to the legal fees and time i spent in defending these baseless accusations. Their attorney is saying that there is no law or case-law that indicates his clients owe me anything.
A: The legal fees you spent? meaning that you already have an attorney on this? If so, get the attorney to do the research on this specific topic.

Thank you for the message you sent to my question - i was trying to assist in some research of case law. Yes i do have an attorney working on this, but after my attorney has proven the claims were baseless which cost me several thousand dollars, i want to limit future attorney work (expenses) which is billed at over $300 per hour.This is a website provided for people to ask questions. Your answer was a waste of time. Do you think i didn't have this discussion with my attorney? Sure, they will do research...... Go find something else better to do then criticize someone for asking a question when that is the purpose of the website... I would appreciate if you can remove that answer so people don't see what an ass you are for responding in the manner that you did.... Are you really an attorney???
