asking_for_friend_homeowner_WA OP

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

single-member LLC asset protection. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
