I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

mold in apartment making family sick. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Security deposit success: got my full deposit back after sending a demand letter citing California Civil Code 1950.5. The landlord had taken 45 days to return it (law says 21 days) and didn't provide an itemized statement.

For commercial lease disputes: check if there's a personal guarantee. If you signed one, your personal assets are at risk even if the business fails. This is one area where attorney review before signing is worth every penny.
