Do you remember the original one that opened up the floodgates of Legally Fucking Your Client? The Ninetendo class action suit, where they got away with giving everyone they fucked a coupon good for "$5.00 off your next purchase of a nintendo game cartridge"!!!!??? The lawyers got filthy rich, and the law made Nintendo do some perfect marketing and increase sales as a result of their "loss of suit". After that it was open season on the middle class of America...about the same time the democrats took over congress and the senate. Go figure the odds of that coincidence! The only way is to go to small claims court or hire a lawyer and if your cause is just and right, win, and you can get triple damages and get them to pay for YOUR lawyer. Don't worry, they'll settle for between $15,000 and $70,000 before you go to trial...they all do. I dated a legal secretary and I've studied the law and the inside information is that this about what you can expect, but you have to wait it out for a few years, usually 3-5. -- A fine is a tax for doing wrong A tax is a fine for doing well
