The contract was signed 12 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $112,000.

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.
For anyone overwhelmed by the legal process: break it into steps. (1) Gather all documents, (2) Write a timeline of events, (3) Research applicable laws, (4) Send a demand letter, (5) If no response, escalate to regulatory complaint or court. You don't have to do everything at once.
