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

legal podcasts recommendations. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

Honestly? I'd get a consult. Changed my whole perspective when I did.

Small claims court is a good option if the amount is under your state's limit.

Document everything going forward. You'll need it if this escalates.
