[blindlaw] I need some advice and a question answered

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

yes you should definitely seek the advice of an attorney as you have many 
issues to address here. As a nonattorney you could only represent yourself 
and not others in doing this so you and your buddies definitely need legal 
advice to proceed.
