I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

mass layoff without WARN Act notice. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 11 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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.

Yep, this is textbook.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

I was in your shoes about 6 months ago. Lawyer helped me sort it out pretty quick.
