Maybe the court could dismiss the suit with prejudice as a penalty for filing a (clearly at this time) inappropriate claim. Then the plaintiff could sue the law firm for legal malpractice if they eventually have a legitimate claim.
No offense, but when is the last time you saw a trial judge dismiss a lawsuit? No matter how outrageous the complaint, the judge always defers to the plaintiffs. Most judges were former plaintiff attorneys and do not want to offend their buddies (donors). A loser pays reform would not be enough, the attorney should be personally responsible. I know the bar code has previsions for fining attorneys for filing lawsuits that have no chance but, when is the last time you saw that happen.
And the name of the plaintiffs firm is? Its public record, so why not name them?
