In my experience, by the time they show their cards, the game is already over and the real losers are the clients on both sides.<br /><br />In this case, MDEQ has already provided a response to the allegations, backed up with with verifiable facts, which was not addressed in a meaningful way by the plaintiffs. The whole thrust of the EPA's complaint is to pin the blame of state officials for Jackson's water system failures. In other words, there's nothing to negotiate. This one needs a ruling from a court of competent jurisdiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-57750273789515427612023-01-22T11:31:48.365-06:002023-01-22T11:31:48.365-06:00Hello Theca!

How does it feel to be so misguided in so many of life's areas?<br /><br />Nobody good sense and a good attorney would sit down with an enemy who wants to negotiate zero-based-charges against them. Never sit down with the other players in a card game and turn your cards over, face-up, as soon as they're dealt. They'll say thank you and smile if you do.<br /><br />The game of the EPA, as with every federal agency, is to show up and say, "Here's our charges. Show us whatchu got!" <br /><br />You don't hold trial (or pre-trial) in a conference room.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-36111409503368027072023-01-21T19:20:30.621-06:002023-01-21T19:20:30.621-06:00I don't think I would advise one of my clients...I don't think I would advise one of my clients to negotiate with a plaintiff that filed a completely baseless/frivolous lawsuit, which I believed had 0 chance of success.
