I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

pro bono requirements for bar admission. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

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

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

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.
