Tom Hancock, Rigg's attorney, said, said Williams has refused to respond to requests for answers. "Though we have great respect for Woody Williams’ actions during the Second World War, his conduct in this litigation has been unacceptable," Hancock said in an interview with The West Virginia Record. "Mr. Williams's lawsuit loudly proclaims that our client is a liar. Over the last year, we have reached out to Mr. Williams’ attorneys seeking evidence of this claim. To date, Mr. Williams has refused to respond to many of our questions. Hancock "At this point, it’s clear that only a court order will compel Mr. Williams to meet his obligations under the rules, so we filed a motion seeking one."
