First, the plaintiff says the defendant, her accountant, made a mistake on her tax return. As a result, the plaintiff owes the IRS money on penalties and interest, so the plaintiff is suing the defendant. The defendant argues the plaintiff is suing for more than he owes. The defendant is countersuing for defamation of character. Then, the plaintiff claims the defendant crashed into her car, so the plaintiff is suing for damages. The defendant says the crash wasn't her fault because she drove over a patch of black ice. Plus, the plaintiff hired the defendant to sand and restain the stairs. However, her stairs looked exactly the same after the job, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant insists he did a great job, but the stairs need to be fully replaced.
