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

annual report filing missed. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

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

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

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