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

dissolving inactive LLC to avoid fees. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

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

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.

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.

Honestly, nAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Your mileage may vary depending on the specifics just saying.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

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.

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

Every time I see a post like this...

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

I've dealt with this before.

The #1 mistake I see here is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
