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

converting LLC to C-Corp for funding. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer smh.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

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

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

So basically i've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues honestly.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.

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

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

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

Here's where people usually go wrong is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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 tbh.

Pro tip: if a company is violating your rights and you need legal help but can't afford it, check if any law school clinics in your area handle your type of case. Law students (supervised by licensed attorneys) provide free legal services and are often very thorough because they're learning.
