The way I see it they’re not gonna waste the time and money to fight a $1,000 claim and articles like this would convince a local judge that I can’t just opt out.
And since the other side didn’t bother to show up I’d win by default.
Any not-your-lawyer types out there wanna make some good trouble by confirming this?
I have a lawyer but I feel like me coming to her with this would be like those folks who said we’d both be billionaires if I built a Facebook app for free.
