Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
forming LLC for freelance business. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.
You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
I've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
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.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
