There is nothing more expensive than a cheap attorney.  Find the money, your livelihood depends on it.

Funny, but as I was reading your response that kept saying if he can't afford this, then try this next thing, I kind of expected your last statement to say and if all of those things don't work, I'll do it pro bono.  I figure you probably get paid so much to be a contributor to RR that you can give away your legal expertise for free!
