Hypothetical question

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

stock option exercise timing. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the relevant statute, which requires showing actionable.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said every case is different so take this with a grain of salt.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.
