Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

foreign LLC registration requirements. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Of course the details matter a lot here.

Literally had this conversation with my lawyer last month.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Your mileage may vary depending on the specifics.

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.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

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

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

PSA: many consumer protection statutes allow recovery of attorney fees and treble (3x) damages. This means even if your actual damages are small, the statutory multiplier can make it worthwhile to pursue. Check your state's consumer protection act.
