In most cases, a simple lawyer's phonecall will jolt them to their senses. If they are sensible, the idea of a lawsuit over the drawers will also weigh in on them as they will on you too. Their lawyers should be able to convince them to do the right thing. If they still refuse, your lawyers can advise you on your options (some of which may incur some costs), you then decide how to proceed.
The problem nowadays is that people no longer have a relationship with their lawyers. It is some clerk handling all the paperwork. Many have no idea what their lawyer looks like. And then when something props up, they feel very intimidated to approach their lawyers to solve their problems.
Just my thoughts
