Sometimes, a letter from an attorney explaining to the customer why it is not advisable for them to seek a remedy in court can be helpful. There is only one "sure-fire" way to keep this from going to court, and that is to pay her the $4000.00. Beyond that, you have to try and negotiate with her and address her issues as best you can. If you're unable, or your lawyer is unable, to address those issues, then you will end up in court.
