1. Why Couldn't They File A Counter Claim Of Abuse Of Process

Or filing a non-colorable-or non meritorious action designed only to harass...

I suspect a lawyer would say the "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign gave the plaintiff something to hang his hat on...

Sad...

2. Because, A) they are probably broke.

and B) the arsehole they are(were) up against could represent himself until they were.

AFAIK lawyers don't do Mano a Mano, coz Mano on the other side will always be "broke" when the bill falls due. So no pro bono happening here.
