company not paying final paycheck and I'm losing my mind

I've been trying to resolve this in Florida on my own but I'm stuck.

company not paying final paycheck. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 10 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
