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

partnership dissolution deadlocked. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

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

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Of course the details matter a lot here.

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

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.

The #1 mistake I see here is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
