Hypothetical question

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

DOGE layoff with inadequate severance. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 12 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

Illustrative response

Just consulted with an attorney about my case. The initial consultation was free and they took it on contingency (no upfront cost, they take a percentage of the recovery). If your case has strong merits, many attorneys will work on contingency.

Illustrative response

I went through something similar. The waiting period for the labor board was about 3 months.
