Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.
paralegal career advancement. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Attorney here. 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.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
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.
