Ask HN: Question about Contracts
3 comments
I don't see how you have a choice to not hire a lawyer. It shouldn't cost more than a couple of hundred dollars to find someone to read through the contracts and tell you what they think, i.e. are you screwed or not.
If $40,000 dollars is at stake, a few hundred dollars is probably worth it to get a professional opinion.

I agree about the lawyer comment. At minimum, get an opinion. Secondarily, you can also negotiate to pay only based on success. So, you don't pay unless you win. It's a fairly common practice, expecially if you've got a good case.

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask personal questions like this, but I don't have a ton of options, and I apologize if I offend anyone.
It's just incredibly frustrating as a college student who can't afford a lawyer to feel like other people made a ton of money off of my work (I was one of 2 developers, the other ended up leaving and suing for $130,000 for a similar amount of work) and I'm getting screwed. Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot.
