Al –
1) if the photographer declares bankruptcy, the plaintiff has an order to collect assets that are now in protection so they aren’t available.
2) yes he can
3) This is exactly what I did for 20 years. They had to review and buy the good ones. Much smarter that way.
4) a) he could sue for a trillion if he wanted to
b) there is a statute of limitations which vary from state to state. Some are one year, some are three for civil matters
5) They are completely separate entities. LLC’s are very effective.

Maybe he needs to check with Rachel Brenke. She is a photographer & has either passed the bar or is gearing up for the bar. Maybe she would be willing, if nothing else, to do some leg work for free.

Threatening to injure someone’s reputation by posting negative comments about them on the internet unless they pay you is the crime of blackmail.

I would write back…

“We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram (1971).

This lawsuit is downright baseless. I’ve worked with this named photographer on numerous occasions for my wedding banquet and wedding photoshoot and have to say that he is one of the most professional people I have worked with regardless of industry. Someone is exploiting his kindness and that is a shame. This ‘attorney’ will not win when the truth is heard.
