Mirna,Thank you very much for your work on this case. I am definitely interested in pursuing this matter, wherever it takes us.I don't know any New York attorneys, however. I will ask some relatives who are lawyers if they have any suggestions, but short that, I'm willing to follow your advice.Thanks again Mirna. I hope we are able to resolve this quickly, and in a happy manner for all.Sincerely,Ryan Cole

Gentlemen,
As you know, I contacted Vincent Garofalo on Barrett's behalf and he expressed a desire to reach some sort of settlement to avoid litigation. Since then he has not responded to my messages. I did not inform him of your claims, Bob and Ryan, as I didn't want to scare him before he gave out a figure.
As he has stopped responding, it is my opinion that at this point we should pursue litigation and sue Garofalo in New York. Garofalo's previous behavior indicates there is a good chance he'll settle to avoid court .
You three do not have adverse interests, and should sue as co-plaintiffs. I am a Texas attorney, which allows me to represent Barrett. I will need to team up with a New York attorney in order to represent Bob and Ryan's interests in New York court.
If there is a New York attorney you prefer I contact, or if you are not interested in pursuing the matter further, please let me know. Otherwise I will contact you with some options and we can decide where to go from there.
