single-member LLC asset protection. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks 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.
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.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I learned the hard way: if you have a 50/50 partnership, you MUST have a deadlock resolution mechanism in your operating agreement. Mediation, buyout provisions, something. Otherwise you'll be in court.
