When people start threatening to call lawyers, most businesses just say, "fine, have your lawyer call our legal department" and stop trying to resolve the issue. That's because they know the customer will suffer sticker shock when they find out a lawyer wants a $5,000 retainer to take on their ten dollar dispute.
My first job out of college was as a claim rep for State Farm. When someone threatened legal action............it was my favorite thing.

Once they threaten legal action, we informed them from this point forward we would no longer be communicating and all information would pass between their lawyer and our team of 800+ corporate lawyers.
