You are among the righteous. You do not get anointed, or anything like that. The system just decides who wins and who loses. If the money's not important, forget it. Don't call the lawyer.
Many people wait too long.
They wait until the situation has deteriorated, until everyone is really red in the face. Don't wait that long. People put off calling lawyers for many reasons. They rank visits to lawyers well below trips to the dentist. Their reasons are the same.
