I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

bootstrapped to funded transition. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

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

I mean not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

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