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

unpaid internship at for-profit company. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 2 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

I work in compliance and I can tell you — companies take demand letters seriously, especially when they cite specific statutes. A vague 'I'm going to sue you' email gets ignored. A detailed letter citing Chapter X Section Y of the [State] Code with specific damages calculations gets forwarded to legal immediately.
