I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

using ChatGPT for legal research accuracy. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

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

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 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.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

I went through almost the exact same thing.

Most folks screw this up by is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
