The worst thing you can allow yourself to do is to become emotional and take action based on anger or hurt feelings. Litigation is no place for pansies and if you can't shore yourself up and do battle like a professional, then you best find legal representation. While you might find yourself angered at certain allegations or comments, it is always best to deal with those matters later when you have calmed yourself. Strategy is the name of the game in litigation. Remember that if the other side is insulting you it is probably because they don't have a leg to stand on. This is particularly true if the other side's attorney is resorting to insults, thinly veiled or not. These are the actions of a desperate soul and as such you should use your critical thinking skills to figure out your advantage.
