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

dissolving inactive LLC to avoid fees. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

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

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
