contract has unconscionable terms. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
I just learned that indemnification clauses can be mutual or one-sided. Always push for mutual indemnification — if they want you to indemnify them, they should indemnify you too. It's basic fairness.
