I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

denied reasonable accommodation for disability. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.

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.

This is depressingly common.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.
