Badmouthing tenant's attorney. Are there consequences?

[Stewart McMillan]

I'm in the middle of a dispute with some tenants. The building's manager, whom I've known and worked with for 7 years, says that these tenants seem nice/normal and she hasn't had any problems with them.

Unfortunately these seemingly nice tenants have been withholding rent after a minor dispute and now they are trying to sue me.

As of now they are at risk of being evicted. (5-day notice is on the way)

They have good jobs, good background checks, references, etc. They seem like people that would not want to have an eviction on their record. I understand why deadbeats willingly go along with an eviction, but I can't understand why an attorney would advise the route they're taking.

I want to tell them that they should be skeptical of their attorney's advice because he/she might be doling out self-serving counsel. The attorney has very little to no reputation in Chicago. Every attorney I speak with says "WHO??".

If I cast doubt on my tenants' attorney, would there be any potential legal consequences?

Thanks!

for me who cares.. its your opinion against the attornies. If you think the other side is getting bad advice there Is no harm telling them that you personally think the advice they are getting is flawed.

no one is going to sue you.. LOL all those that think people sue at the drop of hat are just not in the real world.. it cost time and money to sue.. not going to happen over a simple eviction case
