Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
GoFundMe frozen campaign funds. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
The amount being held/disputed is approximately $41,485. I have tried contacting customer support 10 times with no resolution.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
I've dealt with this before.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
Just want to point out — the 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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.
What trips people up most is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
Every time I see a post like this...
The magic words were "let me speak to your supervisor"/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
