Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

Venmo scam buyer reversed payment. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $13,705. I have tried contacting their legal department 10 times with no resolution.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

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

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

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