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

paralegal career advancement. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

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

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

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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.

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 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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. 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.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
