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

should I go to law school. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

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.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
