I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

paralegal career advancement. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
