Question

Answer

if the business is a corporation or LLC, then yes, they have to get an attorney. Counter sue for what kind of fees? attorney's fees? filing fees? if attorney's fees-- you can only recover attorney's fees if allowed by statute or a written contract says the losing party pays.

I can be reached at 312-372-5600.
