Does it seem painfully obvious that I'm always doing something or tired? I used to write a lot at/from work but my job is simply too demanding - or I'm more conscientious of how much downtime I cash in on

Thanks - very helpful comment and perspective. I'm sort of a softie, and in compensating for my softieness I sometimes overcompensate and give myself a bee in my bonnet when the gentler approach might actually be better

One annoying distinction we discovered about Virginia is that all courts are equivalent jurisdiction, or something like that - whatever the proper terminology is to describe a situation where there is no lower limit to what court a party can bring a civil suit in. A big concern for us was that if he wanted to pursue recovery he was free to start his case all the way in big-boy circuit court, and the cost of entry for the plaintiff is pretty much the same. Further annoying from the perspective of the potential defendant is that there was nothing we could find indicating there was a mechanism to petition for the case to be remanded to a lower, less-expensive-to-defend-in court.
So we were all 3D chess tactics discussing an opponent who turned out to be playing "go fish". YMMV.
Indeedy - my guy is pretty rustic, but that doesn't mean one of his drinking buddies isn't a lawyer. I mean me too, but I have never filed nor do I know a thing about court-court. Thanks again - you gave me something I didn't know about but do know enough about to look up.
I'm also 98% more likely to try and push for a fair settlement, but to do that I need to know what I'm dealing with as you guys did.
