Boy are you naive.

Grow up, boy, there is a big, bad world out there.

A lawsuit is a threat--it is the announcement of "I am here for your money." "We can fight over this for years, and you will be ruined, or you can pay a little now, and I will go away."

Show me this list of lawyers disbarred for frivolous suits, and then tell me what % of lawyers in the USA can expect to be disbarred for frivolous suits.
