Anyone here gone through worker Misclassification as Independent Contractor: LGBTQ+?

Sorry for the wall of text. Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

employer changed my status to contractor. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 6 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
