asking_for_friend_contractor_NC OP

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

professional corporation licensing issue. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Attorney here. 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.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
