I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

company using my music without sync license. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 18 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
