Well, having had the need to contact a lawyer in the past over some things, I can say that if it was a class action suit, no one would have to attend any court hearings. Also the states attorny generals office would be a good place to complain. Sometimes they can resolve a matter without undue litigation. There are rules and laws which people must abide by in this world or the result is total anarchy. I have a landlord who seems to be under the impression that since he owns the buidling, that he can play fast and loose with the law. NOT!!! The funny thing is he seems to have gotten that impression due to the fact no one has stood up to him. If anyone believes they are in the right then no way should they let themselves be trampled over. Thats called being a "doormat".
