Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

changing registered agent. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

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

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

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

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline 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 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.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
