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

event venue cancellation policy dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 14 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $108,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
