> Dealing with this issue as well as other legal issues and reading multiple books on legal issues, winning at trial, etc I think has left me with the equivalent of half a law degree. I have lots of experience now writing contracts, researching and preparing for a lawsuit, and arguing persuasively in front of a judge.

After one court case? That's ... optimistic, to phrase it politely.



Great point. The "other legal issues" I mentioned were other lawsuits I have been through:

-A patent troll sue me a few weeks ago (got it dismissed voluntarily)

-Another client with a stronger case sue for breach of contract a year ago (I won that and got attorneys fees). This was extremely stressful as it was for big money. I read several law books to prep for this one.

-Six year ago my first salesperson sued for commissions after I fired her (she won because I didn't have a contract)

I also don't want it to look like I get in a lot of lawsuits. I have had over a thousand clients and only two ended in lawsuits. I have also had over 250 employees and thousands of contractors and have only been sued once there.
