Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

operating agreement for 50/50 partnership. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

I talked to a lawyer when this happened to me. Worth every penny.

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the relevant statute, which requires showing actionable.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

Here's where people usually go wrong is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead fwiw.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.
