Fwd: Is creditor entitled to same docs CH 7 tee asks for?
Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2014 7:04 am
My response is, not so quickly. Measure your adversary first. It costs money to do all of that discovery, so that is a deterrent. Also, talk to the client and make the decision with the client. It may be someone the client would give the docs to, if asked. It may be the client's worst enemy and you would be giving away powder for their long rifle.
