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

influencer contract unfair terms. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 5 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $140,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied covenant of good faith. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct commercially reasonable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

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.

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.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? 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.
