Quick background on my situation in Illinois — any input appreciated.

piercing the corporate veil concern. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I eventually got results by escalating/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Yep, this is textbook.

A lot of people mess up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

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've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

I've formed companies in both Delaware and Wyoming. For a small business with no outside investors, Wyoming is usually better — no state income tax, no franchise tax, and strong privacy protections.
