> that's pretty fucked. I wonder if there's any lending mechanism which would front the legal fees, and then recoupe it back from the judgement (if won).
If your lawyer thinks you have a strong case, they will work for you for free, in exchange for a share of the bounty.
Unfortunately, you can't always tell if you have a strong case.

Unfortunately if you are being sued winning just means you don't own anyone money. It is a separate thing to collect lawyers fees from the other party.
I truly wish there was some sort of legal money parity rule, so the burden of paying for the case in terms of lawyers and court costs was shared by both sides in proportion to their available assets.
