Unfortunately lawyers make all sorts of claims in letters, often on a very shaky legal basis. Sometimes they even cross the line and make a claim with no basis at all, or contrary to the law. When one party has deep pockets and the other does not, the law often fails to work very well, as no matter how confident the poorer party may be in the merits of their case they bet everything on it, facing ruin if they do lose. Even if you have a 90% chance of winning, do you want to gamble all of your assets on it?
