So far we've walked away from all meetings feeling as though our case has some serious weight to it. We've even run it by members of our families who practice law and have received the same sort of response.

Thanks for the advice I'm making a note of it all and have updated the post to mention that we have in fact spoken to multiple firms. Should have been clear on that.

I paired down the last comment just to make it informative for other readers who might have a similar problem, so perhaps this doesn't all apply to your case.

Lawyers in your family provide good legal advice, but make sure to seek third-party advice from lawyers who have worked in your industry for 10+ years. They will be more aware of precedents, what your chances are, etc.
