Had a business my wife and I started up from scratch taken away as the result of a lawsuit. Legal fees ended up in 5-figures. Loss of income was ~$25-30k per year. Business had been going for just over 2 years and was finally starting to gel. Value of the business was approaching 6-figures and don't know where it might've gone.
Didn't ruin us financially. Was one of those learning situations. My wife said this is the time my kids learned the F word from many phone conversations they overheard.
