> We stopped returning calls from his office. We ignored requests... we simply ignored the situation and continued to grow our business.

Really?

I know what you're thinking - sounds pretty stupid, right?

But...in the heat of things and being right in the middle of it, we thought it was likely or probable that our attorney was in on something with her attorney.

The fact that he was asking for all that money to be place din escrow had us thinking we'd NEVER see that money again if we handed it over. Who knows where it would really go - so we stopped contact.

Over time our phone numbers had changed (common in the Philippines) but the address remained the same. We figured if it was a major issue, he could still get in contact.

To get out with such a cheap payoff when they stopped returning their lawyer's calls is amazing. I'm surprised he didn't fire them as a client.
