Unfortunately I dont belive you can be a business owner without having the lawsuit target on you these days. Its part of the cost of doing business. Doesn't matter if it is legit or not. They see a target and they expect you have a deep pocket just because you are a business. If your going to be an entrepreneur count on reserving some days off for court and a slush fund for an attorney.
