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?

You could try handling it yourself but honestly a lawyer speeds things up 10x.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Every situation is different so YMMV.

My buddy went through something identical.

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 talked to a lawyer when this happened to me. Worth every penny 🤷.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

I keep hearing about cases like this.

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.
