Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
company not paying final paycheck. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
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.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.
The magic words were "let me speak to your supervisor"/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
