my forming LLC for freelance business experience

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

forming LLC for freelance business. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

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

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.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The #1 mistake I see here is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I spent way more time googling than I should have before just calling a lawyer.

This happened to my coworker too.

Most folks screw this up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Yep, this is textbook.

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

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

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
