Dear C.K.,
Sorry about the way you have been treated! You have been done wrong, and you need to fight back. Sue them! Just keep checking around until you find a lawyer who will represent you on a percentage (contingency) basis. You'll find one. Call Ernest Franceschi, Atty., (somewhere in CA, I've forgotten, perhaps L.A.) and tell him I recommended him. If he is not willing to take your case, ask him to refer you to an attorney that he knows in your area. My old friend Mel Belli is deceased, but his son still practices in S.F., and I am sure some of his former partners are still practicing there. Find out what is left of the old Mel Belli Firm and contact one of those lawyers. Best of luck! Feel free to call me at any time for a general discussion of your situation at no cost to you except your phone bill. Sincerely, Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
