Norad45:

The cost to hire an attorney to defend yourself is usually more than it costs the person hiring an attorney to sue you.

In Wisconsin, we have a State Statute against frivolous law suits.

Wisconsin also has provisions for requesting "Summary Judgements" against the filer of frivolous law suits and their attornies which allows the Judge to award damages to the victims of frivolous lawsuits. Since Judges tend to be lawyers, you don't hear about a lot of lawyers getting assessed "Summary Judgements" and although I am not an attorney, I believe you or your attorney have to request such a ruling.
