I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

reverse engineering software. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 28 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

This comes up a lot.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
