Convertible Note Issue: VC demanding 2x liquidation preference

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

VC demanding 2x liquidation preference. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Look, 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.
