I agree, Open Eyes, that you absolutely do a favor for society, at large, when you fight to establish that these people who caused harm must be held responsible. It would add one more good precedent in case law. Holding people responsible for the harm they cause is the difference between living in a civilized world and living in a dog-eat-dog state of anarchy. I hope you win your suit. I wish you were better represented.
From your post above, I much better understand why switching lawyers gets messy, and why other lawyers don't want to get involved. I've learned something important to know. If I ever need legal representation, it is important to pick carefully right from the beginning. I see how you can be kind of stuck with choice #1.
It sounds like this family are people of means. I'm glad, because if you prevail, you have a hope of recovering compensation. Even if they were folks with nothing, I would still want to see them held accountable in a criminal sense. They should either pay for the damage, or go to jail for recklessly endangering and harming your livestock. They should have some consequences to face commensurate with the harm they caused.
