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

lawyer charging for work not done. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

This is depressingly common.

Here's where people usually go wrong is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

I've dealt with this before.

In my case (at least in my experience), it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented sadly.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
