Laurie...We contacted two lawyers, both in FL. I got both their names off of the ads associated with this website. One wanted $1800, the other $3500 to get us out. Will be interested to hear what a CA lawyer has to say. Both said stay clear of 'Consumer Advocate' groups or other groups asking for up front dollars. Both lawyers, however, wanted half of their fee as a retainer. Both felt confident they would be successful (of course). However, both have been doing timeshare stuff for quite a few years. They both told me people started getting really irate 5-6 years ago when properties started pressuring folks to give up their deeds and buy into the point system. We always resisted and as a result were, for the most part, treated like second class citizens.
