The estimated expense of the possible lawsuit

According to George Liu's consultation to legal service:

1. The whole process of lawsuit is way too long and expensive than any of us could possibly afford if a competent lawyer is hired. Estimated cost range from $25,000 to $100,000.

2. The fast way is to seek injunction (a court order for Tang's reinstatement for example) and cost about $10,000 if a lawyer is hired.

These are based on the assumption that we want to go through all the process and win the case. There may be some variation in the amount in North Carolina.

The legal service, of course, recommend that a competent lawyer in the Duke area is hired if we wish to proceed lawsuit.
