I'm dealing with a situation in Maryland and need some guidance.
S-Corp election deadline missed. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
Once I asked for a supervisor things changed fast/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
This happened to my coworker too.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
I've dealt with this before.
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 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.
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.
Dealt with this exact thing last year.
The thing that gets people is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol
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.
Ngl 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.

Following this thread — Commenting so I can find this later. Very relevant to my situation.
