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

YC SAFE note terms review. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Fwiw my neighbor dealt with this and said the lawyer made it go away fast.

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.

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.
