Hypothetical question

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

stock option exercise timing. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
