I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

warranty claim denied on technicality. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 24 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $2,000.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the implied covenant of good faith years for this type of claim.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

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

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
