Suit Monger

Will Lonnie Snelling's civil war ever end?

Undeterred, Snelling says he plans to petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case.

Court records show that Snelling has won judgments of at least $23,067. The court's database, however, does not include many of his cases, and Snelling says he doesn't keep track of his win-loss record.

Describing himself as "self-made," Snelling has no other form of employment but denies that lawsuits make up his livelihood.

"A judgment and getting money is two different things," he contends. "I ain't got a penny. These people do their little dirt [to me], and then they try to run off and hide."

So why does Lonnie Snelling persist?

"Because I'm not a quitter," says Snelling. "I hope that somewhere down the line these rights I'm supposed to have will be granted."

With that, Snelling must dash off to a car-repair shop, claiming that the evening before a young man with a pellet gun shattered one of his windows.

"I don't bother anyone," he concludes. "But when someone bothers me, they don't get out of it easily."
