> At a minimum I would consult with a lawyer

Which, if it turns out you cannot legally keep the money somehow, you just paid a ton of money for someone to basically tell you that you cannot have the money, so now you're paying money because Google sent you money.

Well if you are already having trouble getting Google to pay attention to you and take back the money it might be cheaper to consult a lawyer than wasting more of your own time on the issue.

And then if you are considering the possibility of keeping it somehow I don't think you could afford to NOT consult a lawyer.

Either way it does seem like Google is going to end up costing you time/money :|

Maybe some lawyer would take it on a percentage contingency?
