What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MI
Hi,
Any advice is greatly appreciated as my wife and I are very worried. Long story short, we were forced to sue a company that installed work on our home, and after a year they finally fixed the problem. It still ended up costing us money, but we settled with them fixing it and a partial payment for our attorney costs. So, I put up a one page website out of anger simply telling people "not" to use this company. I kept it very brief, one paragraph in fact, saying we had to sue them and it took over a year to finish, and listed their address. No other details were listed. Now, my wife and I are getting sued and they're claiming they've lost SEVERAL thousands of dollards from this one page website, one paragraph. My attorney is out of town for the weekend, and said take it down immediately.
But anyway, I believe there is no merit with this case, but they're obviously very mad to not send a warning letter first. Should I be worried, and/or what is the likely scenario besides paying a lot of attorney fees to fight this? Also, the reason we were so mad is we couldn't use our yard for over a year and it ended up costing us about $3,000 more to complete ourselves.
Thank you
