The reason I want to go to lawyer second. Is to hear if what H suggests is fair. If I go to L first then I may come across as attacking H with too muck knowledge of how to do stuff.
It does not matter what H suggests or not nor if any of these suggestions are fair or not. If you were to go to the L "second", your position would be much weaker in your convos with H because you will NOT be armed with concrete business information from L in which you can judge on whether H is being fair or not. You would not be in a position to make these judgments. Furthermore, how would you be able to counteract back to H if you do not have solid business facts to back you up? If you do proceed with this plan, you are setting yourself up for disaster. DO NOT talk with H at all before consulting with L FIRST, FIRST, FIRST, FIRST!!!!
It is not attacking H if you are armed beforehand with solid information from L...it will enhance and strengthen your position further. Heck, you may not want to even to engage with H after consulting with L. The L may very well advise you against talking with H. A good attorney will have your best interests and will strive to use every legal means to protect your financial interests.
Please think about this very carefully and heed my advice.
Mark my words...if you DO talk with H before consulting with L, I can envision the scenario where you two will devolve into a shouting match and H will not be pleasant at all. He is not going to play "nice" with you at all if his past comments are anything to go by.
Not sure what LLC means?
This is the most basic term that every business owner needs to know. It stands for Limited Liability Company. Can I ask you how you and H went into business together? How did all of this start to begin with?
