I recently served my neighbor with a small claims writ for $1000.00. Our court date has not been set yet. My question is not in regards to my suit.
I just received a letter from their attorney stating their intent to counterclaim for $1775. The counterclaim is for services provided by them as a favor six months ago (installed water heater).
In an attachement provided by the attorney it is stated by my neighbor, "I did not receive nor did I ask for money because I told them that is what neighbors and friends are supposed to do for one another". This is in regards to the work he did 6 months ago, as a favor, and is now billing us for is because of our small claims suit.
Can I really be sued for something that they admit was a favor from the beginning because they are upset?
