Fair enough, I guess part of what I'm asking is can the lawyer even do anything outside of say "pay him 1/3"? Meaning, do we actually have any kind of argument

Fair enough, I guess part of what I'm asking is can the lawyer even do anything outside of say "pay him 1/3"?
Meaning, do we actually have any kind of argument because he "abandoned" the business?
- tstegart 15y agoWell, that's what they're there to tell you. Usually, the consultation is free or a small fee. A good lawyer can get the facts from you in an hour, can take a look at your agreement, and armed with knowledge of the laws of Arkansas, can tell you some odds or whether you have a good case or not. We here on HN, unless we are AK lawyers, aren't going to know how good your argument is because AK might have laws on the books about this sort of stuff we don't know about.
- throwaway-story 15y agoLaw sucks. And it's hard to research. Someone fix it.
- tstegart 15y agoIt sucks because its very fact specific. Too many variables, if you will. Anyone can read the law online, but a good lawyer can tell you how its applied, who courts are sympathetic to, what kind of judges your county has, what direction the law is moving and how well you might do. Its a mess, but the U.S. likes it that way, because each state can follow its own direction.
