Sue first, ask questions later

By now everyone from The Wall Street Journal to the Sun-Times has reported Horizon Realty Group’s lawsuit against a tenant over an allegedly defamatory post on Twitter.

The Sun-Times quotes Horizon’s Jeff Michael as saying that “We’re a sue first, ask questions later kind of an organization.” The lawsuit was filed, according to the Sun-Times, because Horizon “has a good reputation it wants to preserve.”

It’s been several years since I researched Horizon, but at that time I opined it was “as bad as it gets” and reported on a tenant describing a Horizon property as a “hell hole.” Here are some of my other posts on Horizon:

With his “sue first” statement, Jeff Michael may have done more harm to Horizon’s reputation than anyone else possibly could.
