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

influencer contract unfair terms. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 11 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $56,000.

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

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.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the implied covenant of good faith. Your state may provide additional protections.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

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

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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

I've dealt with this before.

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