I'm getting more to what were your feelings when you decided, I have to hire (not consult) an attorney?
What if you had said to the attorney, this is where we are, I don't want to move fast on this, what are my options. I don't know what your options are in your state and perhaps you did have the conversation.
She wanted to negotiate, you seemed to be open to negotiating, she didn't get back to you on your timeline so you fired a shot across the bow.
Just curious. DBing is about slowing down, and taking stock of why we do what we do. Taking control of ourselves.
Was is your higher or lower brain that hired the L?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
