Your lawyer chose the wrong visa for you O-1 visas were specifically created for entertainers and athletes at first. It wasn't meant for business. It was later extended to include Nobel prize winners and other academics during Cold War to compete with Russia's science program (and collect refugees from those able to escape) aka. O-2. And then finally, it was opened to include business and finance individuals aka. O-3. However, the original intent of the visa was never for that case.
