The question
I have recently bought my way into a small corporation that has 5,000 shares. The owner let a lawyer originally set it up and the owner (my business partner) is completely unsure on how to redistribute the shares to give me 1/2 of the shares that the directors & officers own. I contacted the original lawyer but he wants $500 an hour for his services and wont even speak with us without getting money up front. I am hoping that we can redistribute the shares ourselves. What do we have to do? We also have contacted 7 local business/corporation lawyers and left messages about hiring them to do this and not one has called us back,we feel stuck... thanks for any assistance.
