I'm sure most of you have heard about the defamation suit filed by the Cook County landlord against one of its tenants for comments allegedly made by the tenant on twitter.
I don't have any comments about the merits of that lawsuit. But I do like the mentality expressed by the landlord's representative in the Sun-Times article this morning.
"We're a sue first, ask questions later kind of an organization," he said, noting that the company manages 1,500 apartments in Chicago and has a good reputation it wants to preserve.

I need more clients like that guy.

Are you sure of that? Clients like this guy can cause an attorney a loss of reputation as ofttimes the suits are frivolous where a little investigation would avoid the suit altogether. I realize that there is substantial money to be made when your client manages 1500 apts., but demanding that you, as the attorney, file suit everytime a tenant passes gas is more of a headache than you might imagine.
Excellent point.
