SAL27, I am new here and don't know your story. I do know this from first-hand experience, emotions in lawsuits equal money. While if you have been a victim of fraud you have a right to deal with that, keep in mind that emotions can escalate the result. No one wins in a lawsuit, except the lawyers. My suggestion would be to process your emotions and feel the wrong you have endured, but communicate only facts to your lawyer (I did not open this account, Judge so and so referred my W to her L, etc) and be certain of the outcome you want to achieve (do you want a quick D, a cheap D, no D, etc). Some will help you and others won't. Not all facts have equal relevance to the fact-finder determining your outcome. There is a big difference between being right about something and being happy with the result you achieve. Best of luck to you.
