Do the PCs own any land? Well, they can place liens and quiet title and find ways to take the land.2. Do the PCs have family members? They can do all of the evil law activities against them, effectively making them penniless. In some jurisdictions, they can even get them jailed.3. They can gin up some kind of involuntary commitment proceeding, and get the PCs committed against their will.4. They can file civil lawsuits and tie them up in court dates. And discovery / depositions. 5. They can get additional TROs that involve not just the place, but all the people. They can also do it as harrassing / stalking. If they're really evil, they can have other witnesses file false criminal complaints.6. In combination with the TROs, they can get orders to prevent the PCs from carrying weapons. Or owning them.7. If the PCs are licensed investigators, the law firm can have their license revoked.8. If the PCs have a PI business, the law firm can get their business license revoked so they can't operate the business.9. If the business is on land that the PCs own, see (1). If they are tenants, then the law firm could work with the landlord and evict them.Again, I want to stress that this is not how the law does work. But the ways in which an evil (and perhaps supernatural) law firm could go after you are limited only to your imagination.Next, I appreciate your love for the posts. And for your sins, I will give you a compendium of Snarf's lawsplainers and/or other posts that touch on the law. And now that I've seen them all laid out like that ... I need to charge more, so I can buy a life.
