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

should I go to law school. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

I've dealt with this before.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

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.

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