Hypothetical question

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

competitor copying my API. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 25 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — teh statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Illustrative response

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