Can I counter sue?

[poet2dagger]

Is there always a way to counter sue someone when you are being sued yourself when the alligations of the suit against you are false and causing you personal distress and anxiety? How much can you sue for and how would you go about doing it? This person wants money but can't get it so he will keep trying to sue me unless I do somthing in retaliation so he may back off. The false allagation are also messing with my reputation as a person. I feel that I could counter sue for mental anguish and suffering but my attorney told me not to bother. Is he right? or do I have beter options?

I really feel for you, I am also being sued for money under false allegations and I have counter sued. It depends on what terms the plaintiff is sueing you and why he feels that you owe him money. In my case the plaintiff said that I used funds from the sale of a home, that he claims he had invested in, to purchase another home. I had actually worked for him to repay the money that he had put into the home and therefore did not owe him anything. I hope this makes sense to you. Why does the plaintiff feel that you owe him money?
