Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
pro bono requirements for bar admission. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Following this thread — I could have written this post myself. Same exact problem.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

PSA: many consumer protection statutes allow recovery of attorney fees and treble (3x) damages. This means even if your actual damages are small, the statutory multiplier can make it worthwhile to pursue. Check your state's consumer protection act.
