Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
domain squatter demanding ransom. I've been dealing with this for about 6 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?
Been there. Here's what I learned.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
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 document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
I've dealt with this before.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. 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 the relevant statute years for this type of claim.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
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.
Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
I've seen this play out several times in my field.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
