Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.
wrongfully accused of misconduct. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Following this thread — Are you me? Literally going through this rn.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
I demanded to talk to a manager and suddenly they could help/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
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.
I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

A lot of people mess up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
You could try handling it yourself but honestly a lawyer speeds things up 10x.
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.
