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

foreign LLC registration requirements. I've been dealing with this for about 4 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

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

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the relevant statute, which requires showing actionable.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

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've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

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