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

legal podcasts recommendations. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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

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

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

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

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

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.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

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.
