This doesn't make sense to me. You're saying this was YOUR (and your friends) startup but you have no equity and you've been nothing more than an employee. Which is it? Were you employed by the company or did you start it?
I don't know you from Adam and clearly you feel you've been wronged, but I can't help but think we're not hearing the full story - just your side of it.
Sorry.
For what its worth, forget the lawyer, don't threaten legal action ('cause they would probably pull their offer off the table), but calmly and rationally counteroffer their severance offer on the basis of the 'facts' you've outlined. It would help your cause if you could cite examples where you added revenue or brought in new clients, etc to the company. Worse they can do is say 'thats our final offer', in which case I'd shake hands, wish them luck and move on with your life.
