EDIT: added more context below. I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

409A valuation for option grants. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

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've dealt with this before.

I ended up filing with teh appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run lol.

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.
