Step 1: Get your paperwork in order. Find the papers that were signed, certificates given, emails sent. Gather ALL your evidence in one place/folder. MAKE A PHOTOCOPY OF EVERYTHING. Keep this separate just in case things go missing.
Step 2: Build your story. Get it clear in your own mind what happened and how you got screwed.
Step 3: Talk to the best attorney(s) you can find. Talk fast, listen well.
Step 4: Let them do what they do.
If your case is solid, most attorneys will take it on contingency, but at 12.8 mil this isn't a small town matter. You're looking at semi-pro minimum. Consider it an investment.

- packetslave 15y agoStep 1a: DON'T talk about the specifics of the case in public. You're giving opposing counsel a free head start in building their case against your arguments.
- ArbitraryLimits 15y agoSemi-pro? How much money would it take for you to require a full pro?
- PakG1 15y agoTry $800/hour. Or maybe even higher. Grade A lawyers are in that realm, I know people who charge that much, and have founder friends who have lawyers that charge that much. edit: which is why contingency is so important here.
- ArbitraryLimits 15y agoI meant how much money you would call in pro lawyers to get, not how much you would pay them.
- PakG1 15y agoSee now I misread you. :)
