It sounds like you may have a good case. You need to find the right attorney. I wonder if the 500,000 contract is still valid even if they changed it, and whether they may be persuaded to settle quickly. When you have an attorney, they will probably think twice about pushing you around like they have been.

Please contact me to look at this matter for you. Free consultation with no obligation - if you want to call me today.
