Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

denied reasonable accommodation for disability. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 7 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

Ngl went through this 6 months ago. My advice: be persistent but professional. Companies count on you giving up. Send follow-up letters every 2 weeks, reference your original complaint, and escalate to a supervisor each time. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Important reminder: most employment law claims have a statute of limitations of 180-300 days (EEOC) or 1-3 years (state claims). Time is not on your side.
