Non-Compete Agreement Enforceability in New York

I'm in a difficult situation in New York and trying to figure out my next steps.

gig company reclassifying workers. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 8 years. My position is 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?

Something people miss: if your employer misclassified you as exempt when you should've been non-exempt, you might have 2-3 years of unpaid overtime to recover. Look at the duties test, not just the salary threshold.
