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

single-member LLC asset protection. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.

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

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

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.

Attorney here. 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.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

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.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

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.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
