I went to a lawyer once, actually visited 5,3 weren't interested, 1 wanted 100k to start, the last one, he asked for nothing ! Gave us a 30 minute chat and no charge at all.
He said, don't waste your time and money, it will take atleast 6 -12 months, IF the person responds, then even IF you win, you will probably never get to collect it. Anything that's owned in that 6 months will be transferred to others in the family.Then, you don't know who he knows and what trouble he can make for/to you. ! If you want to sleep at night, forget it and move on, it will cost too much for no return and potentially alot of stress or worse.
That's MY experience, of course others may vary. ????
