Re: Squater suing llc
This is an unlucky situation but you will not have to pay anything to this person.
You write that you have no insurance. That means that you cannot rely on their lawyers but must find your own.
You will defend, and win, on the basis that you were not negligent. In the absence of any knowledge that this person was on the premises, you have no duty to him.
This is a simple matter and should not involve exorbitant attorney fees.
You are welcome to a consultation for no fee. Email is best to schedule an appointment.

Let him start a law suit, and inform your insurance company about the potential claim.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
