A long article in USA Today discusses Donald Trump's lawsuits that total nearly 3,500!*  I encourage you to read the whole article, but following are a few excerpts:
Our project found about 3,500 legal actions involving Trump, including 
1,900 where he or his companies were a plaintiff and about 1,300 in 
which he was the defendant. Due to his branding value, Trump is 
determined to defend his name and reputation.

......................................................................
Just since he announced his candidacy a year ago, at least 70 new 
cases have been filed, about evenly divided between lawsuits filed by 
him and his companies and those filed against them. And the records 
review found at least 50 civil lawsuits remain open even as he 
moves toward claiming the nomination at the Republican National 
Convention in Cleveland in seven weeks. On Tuesday, court documents were
 released in one of the most dramatic current cases, filed in 
California by former students accusing Trump University of fraudulent 
and misleading behavior.
.........................................................................
However, even by those measures, the number of cases in which Trump 
is involved is extraordinary. For comparison, USA TODAY analyzed the 
legal involvement for five top real-estate business executives: Edward 
DeBartolo, shopping-center developer and former San Francisco 
49ers owner; Donald Bren, Irvine Company chairman and owner; Stephen 
Ross, Time Warner Center developer; Sam Zell, Chicago real-estate 
magnate; and Larry Silverstein, a New York developer famous for his 
involvement in the World Trade Center properties.
To maintain an 
apples-to-apples comparison, only actions that used the developers' 
names were included. The analysis found Trump has been involved in more 
legal skirmishes than all five of the others — combined.
