More details to this question:
I purchased a wood swing set in craigslist listed in good condition. I am suing for cost and installation of swing set, The buyer assured me it was in good condition that only one wood needed to be changed.Before purchasing I saw that it was more than one wood that needed replacement and asked for a discount. I then purchased it and had it installed at my house. Once at my house I saw that a lot of the wood had severe damage and rotting. I spent $200 dollars in changing all the wood. Once that was done my son began to play with it and a portion of the old wood collapsed. My son only got scraped thank God, I then contacted the seller twice and explained to her via text what occured and asked for a refund. She never answered. The lawyer says I had a chance to inspect it before purchase .Now her lawyer said if I lose the case he will pursue me for his lawyer fees. What laws do I have to back me up in this case??

As an aside, I am in the process of establishing a series of seminars focused on teaching pro-se litigants some of the basics of litigating cases, ranging from small claims cases on up. If you would be so kind as to give my office a call at 1-800-922-6442, I would like to your opinion about my project since it would be oriented at people such as yourself.
