Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

franchise agreement hidden fees. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 8 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $91,000.

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

Idk but i've dealt with this before.

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

Honestly, 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 🤷.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
