The lawyers can only act on their clients instructions. If the client is not interested in any further action or realizes that they have a weak case, the lawyer cannot do any thing further.

Honesty with lawyers

It is important to be honest with your lawyer. If you tell your lawyer lies, if the truth is discovered at a later date, it can be embarrassing and cause unnecessary problems. It also makes it difficult for the lawyer to defend the client.

Is there real freedom of speech online? Offline if payment is not made, you can take the party defaulting to court to recover payment.

Online, you lose both your money and are issued gag orders.

Most of the offline companies I have dealt with are professional, but the same cannot be said for many online companies.
