Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
warranty claim denied on technicality. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
Oh god, another one of these.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
Update: successfully resolved my dispute through arbitration. Total time from filing to award was about 4 months. The arbitrator awarded me the full amount plus attorney fees because the contract had a prevailing party clause. Always check if your contract has fee-shifting provisions.
