    I think "counter sueing" is not needed. Just show up to court with your documentation - and I'd think the judge or magistrate will throw it out.

    Have you called the guy to tell him you have documentation that his claim is in error?

    I definitely suggest giving him a call. And if he's uncooperative, call the partner that gave you the letter.
