Without a lot more information, I don't know if anyone can help you. Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I offer an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50.

 Don't wait any longer, give a call and let's getting working to protect your interests.
