If that's actually what your lawyer says, then there's nothing wrong with that, but if you don't have a lawyer and they call your bluff, you're worse off than before you ran your mouth. So it's not really too much different than me telling about that one time I was in Vegas and I rolled a seven.

I had a buddy who was a lawyer, who spent a few minutes looking over the contract as a favor. There was no bet for them to call since I wasn't threatening action, just pointing out what the contract actually said (which my buddy confirmed for me).
It was under a thousand bucks so I could have just taken them to small claims court if they didn't fold. That may have worked in my favor.

So you just have to make sure you actually talk to a lawyer before you talk to anyone else.
