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

dissolving inactive LLC to avoid fees. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

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

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

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

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.

Has anyone tried mediation before going to court? In my county, the court actually requires mediation for disputes under $25K. It was faster and cheaper than I expected, and we reached a resolution in one 3-hour session.
