    This is wishful thinking when you are dealing with professional
    legal teams who are on staff at a company like Yurman's. A good
    lawyer (at the level you are going to need to deal with the guys
    working for Yurman) is going to cost you between $350-$600/hour. And
    no matter how much footwork you do, you are going to run up a huge
    bill trying to fight these guys. As a matter of fact, part of their
    goal is to out spend you. Unless you are independently wealthy, or
    you have a really large business, you simply aren't going to have the
    resources to come up against these guys in any effective manner.
