I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

409A valuation for option grants. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

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

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

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

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

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

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
