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

pro bono requirements for bar admission. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The trap most people fall into is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

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've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

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.

Not surprised at all tbh.

What trips people up most is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

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

Pro tip: always escalate. The frontline people can't do anything/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

This comes up a lot.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
