Hello Everyone,
I have a question that I could use some advice about...
In a lawsuit, when responding to counterclaims do you give ALL the factual data you have, or just a minimal amount of factual data in order to answer the claims?
- This idea here is we do not know if we should be exhaustive in our response for fear that we will be revealing our legal strategy to pursue the suit in court?
This data will be used in the Scheduling Hearing coming up at the end of September.
I/We have lost confidence in our Law Firm and are in the process of replacing them. We must work on the response(s) before we will be able to inquire with the new firm (whoever they may be) as it will take another week or two to select a new firm. That is why I am asking on this forum.
Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
V/r,

BACKGROUND INFO if it is helpful...
I am one of the Members of a Limited Liability Corporation and we had to remove one of Members for misbehavior.
The Member that was removed understood and we were in the process of assembling all the invoices and inputting them into a new accounting system that was purchased before this all happened to give them to our accountants so they could calculated the correct redemption of his interest (shares) .
He then all of a sudden "lawyered up" and took control of our Information Systems illegally. he threatened multiple lawsuits and never filed anything and refused to cooperate. Finally we had to file a replevin, and then a Summary Judgement suit in order to put to rest whether or not we actually removed him...
Our law Firm, although honorable people, is primarily a business law firm, and have not handled this correctly in our opinion. Some of our business advisors have suggested that this is situation is beyond their core competencies, given the divergent amount of factors in this situation; (Employee versus Owner, ADA, Mental Health, Lying to government officials, Government Information Security, redemption valuation, etc...)
We are in the process of replacing the firm as they have made some noteworthy errors in judgement and they seem to be unable to answer our legal questions that are basic to lawsuits etc.
