Is it true that people say that litigation is about eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant? This is just an isolated phenomenon, but litigating a lawsuit is definitely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and of course also requires financial resources. After all, you have to pay attorney fees. If you hire a lawyer, there will be attorney fees, and attorney fees are relatively high now. If you have to appear in court, your work will definitely be delayed and your income will be affected. Therefore, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant will benefit from going to court. It is best to resolve the case through negotiation. In the end, there is no way not to fight or try not to fight.
