I hear you Pax. Until this began, my exposure to the legal system was always on behalf of others. Quite different when it is you. The frustrating part for me is how much mine can delay and the fact that I really can't do anything about it. In truth, I've seen courts let people get away with a lot of really bad stuff. Even in my practice area where an award of fees is statutory, the courts still don't grant them. At some point there can be a tipping point. I have gotten sanctions against the other side in many cases, including attorney fees. It just takes time and lots of violations. All of this is a lesson in patience. You will get to the finish line, as will I, but we don't control the timing of that.
