There was a woman on the board of Roth Group whose grandfather had made their family rich by suing for anything and everything.
The old man had been quite famous for it.
If he found a fishbone in a dish that was not supposed to have any bones. Then the restaurant, plus the chef who made the dish were in for a world of pain.
If his barber so much as nicked him while shaving him then the poor person just knew that they were in trouble. If he came into a restaurant first and he was served after people who'd come in after he'd been seated. Then the restaurant was sued for discrimination of some sort be it due to old age, skin tone or social status. Whatever he could find, he would use.
One time the old man had even sued a woman for bumping into him while holding a pair of scissors. He had argued that she'd been intending to cause him bodily harm and he'd won.
Deacon had never met the man but he'd heard stories from his father.
