<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lots of exchanges have taken place here regarding
the prudence of retaining a lawyer. I have to chime in on this...... if
you get one (and I think you should) make absolutely sure it's a good one.
Lawyers are like us as flyers......they come in all levels of
accomplishment. A truly good (read aggressive) lawyer on your side is hard
to beat.</FONT></DIV>

type="cite"><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I met with other club officials
Saturday morning and here is what we are doing.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>There was much discussion on whether to get a lawyer
or not. Some fear that in Small claims in front of a JP, which by the way
ignores all normal court rules, a lawyer would piss off the JP. This lady
does not have a lawyer because she cannot really afford one. We are
calling all current club members and asking if they have had any interaction
with this lady</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>1. Are you aware
of anyone crashing on or near her property.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>2. Did she come over to our property and fall and break her
arm</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>We are filing a response
today denying all claims of trespassing and the breaking of her arm.
Included in our response will be the prior history with this lady which
includes</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>1. A face to face
meeting with the County Managers who reveiwed our club documents.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>2. A live noise demo that resulted in the
County stating in writing that a noise problem does not exist and that they
recognize that the flying boundaries are for reference only, and that
occasional overflys do happen by accident and it is not a problem.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>3. Repeated Sherrif visits from her
complaints, where as no action is ever taken.</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>4. Results from County Commisioners court in front of
a judge, whereas her claims were dismissed.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>The JP will then make a decision on whether or not to
hear this case. Our club members really think our response will end this, I
do not. </FONT><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I feel that our club
members, like 90% of the rest of the world are fearful of lawyers. Most view
lawyers as an expensive solution that they have no control of. When you hire
a lawyer, and go to court, you are in a very "specialty" situation that
frankly the average citizen does not comprehend, nor can properly react to.
I think we (my club)are absolute fools for not getting a lawyer.
The Club Pres has said if the JP accepts this case we will reconsider
obtaining a lawyer. My polling of club members indicates that people who are
against a lawyer have never retianed a lawyer, but they sure hate them. A
few that are for it have had a lawyer and see the benefits. Of couse the AMA
told us to deny all claims and not to get a lawyer. They willn help us if
this got out of hand, but not right now.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>I find it absurd to believe that a JP would get pissed off that we
brought a lawyer. Hey! We are talking about $5000! I would think that the JP
would think we are idiots for NOT having a lawyer. I see this as a method
for ending this lady's claims now and forever. I think we should go after
her in writing for OUR court costs which include legal fees. I never expect
restitution but I do want her to know that we take this serious and will
fight her to the bitter end. He has has most cash wins, and in this case we
have much more cash. We can spend $1000 in lawyer fees now and be done with
it.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I would bet that MOST of you
out there who have been to court with a lawyer are with me and those of you
who have never have been to court are against my thoughts. There is a
wild card, which is JP court. Anything goes, and for that reason I realize I
could be wrong.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>So we are
posting a denial of all claims today.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>On trespassing...one of of members is a Plano Cop. Here is the Police
and court take on Trespassing. Posted or not posted means nothing. You can
step on anyones property at any time. If the owner asks you to leave, you
must leave and be given the chance to leave. To make it legal, and hold up
in court, a police office must witness this exchange. Now I am sure that if
she tells a person to get off in January and a cop (or other witness) is
there and you show up again in Feb and once again witnessed, then you are
trespassing. Flying over her trailer is not trespassing.
