M,

Don't fall for H's email. He's clearly fishing for information from you. So obvious! He wants to peek into your playbook. Don't.

Wasn't this H's response to your email from last night, right?

I am cautiously encouraged by your change of lawyers. I'm glad that you are interested in a simple and peaceful solution to this problem. My understanding of [Lawyer #1] reputation was that she was an excellent lawyer, but not a peacemaker. I'm still confused, however, because I don't know what your goals are here, because you won't tell me (other than to mediate, which doesn't tell me what it is that we disagree over and need to mediate). Letting me know what your goals are would help me tremendously in trying to craft a solution to this situation.
