Looking for advice on a legal issue in Nevada. Here's what happened.

bank won't reverse wire transfer. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $42,977. I have tried contacting customer support 7 times with no resolution.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What trips people up most is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have state consumer protection laws years for this type of claim.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

Every time I see a post like this...

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
