Opt out and do the work yourself, then. Someone has to get paid for the work, and the risk that they took on in doing the work with their own funding.
If you want to pay a lawyer and keep what is left over after expenses (hah!), have at it.
Edit: I love how nobody here can explain how this is wrong, even if not to me (take it to the presiding judge), just unpopular. Well, if you need to vent to manage your emotions...
