Perhaps you should speak to a disinterested lawyer not connected to the case with relevant expertise. If you can't find one through Google I believe you can contact the state bar and asked to be referred. When talking to the other lawyer make it clear you want to hire him for a consult or for advice, that you want to lay out what's happening now, have him do some research, and get back to you with an opinion. Ask how much it will cost and, if reasonable, do that.
