Hello Jim,
It looks like your question got cut off. In order for any attorney to be able to intelligently evaluate the entirety of the situation and attempt to give you options and estimate the liklihood of success a full consultation is needed. It's likely that even that will not be enough. It's unclear as to what possible causes of action exist and what damages may be recoverable. If the case needs to proceed under federal statutes the costs of litigation are significantly higher. In this instance I would not worry about costs up front. Speak with a qualified attorney. Many offices will have alternate arrangement (such as contingency fee) that may be available depending on how the case would need to proceed.
Best of luck.
