Product Warranty Dispute — NDA prevents me from getting new job

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

NDA prevents me from getting new job. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 8 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $15,000.

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 went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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 specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the implied covenant of good faith, which requires showing commercially reasonable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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