I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

domain squatter demanding ransom. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

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

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
