hello,
my girlfriend is getting wrongly fired from her hagwon and the owner will not sign a letter of release (see post "school warning"). there is no reason that the owner should not sign a letter of release. he owes her close to 4 mil, but all we want is the letter of release. i think he is maybe going out of business/financial troubles and thinks she will come after the money.

anyway, if anyone can put us in touch with a good lawyer, trustworthy, etc that we can use to help get this letter of release it would be much appreciated. she has 12 days until she has to be out of the country.

thanks

querc
