and just how much money do you think there is in a case ...

Defamation of character, ruining of reputation/name, etc. If lawyers can bilk millions out of McDs for customers spilling coffee on themselves, a sharky lawyer should be able to paint a picture for a jury of the realtor's loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions that will never come because her reputation was forever trashed.

I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm just saying the potential is there.
