Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

should I go to law school. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. 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.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
