Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

changing registered agent. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Not gonna lie, I put off calling an attorney for weeks. Wish I hadn't waited.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Don't make the same mistake I did -- is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

This is depressingly common.

A lot of people mess up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

Went through something like this -- ended up getting a lawyer involved which made all the difference smh.

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.

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

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.
