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

NDA prevents me from getting new job. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 9 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $112,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Of course the details matter a lot here.
