Fwiw i'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
divorce mediation vs litigation. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
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 labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services imo.
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.
I'd at least do a free phone consult with someone. Can't hurt.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
