The risky part of this is that if you have caused significant expenditure of time, effort, and money on the part of the defendant, YOU could be sued yourself for the recovery of those expenses, and/or run the risk of being charged with malicious prosecution. If you are represented by an attorney, confer with them, that's what you're paying them for.
