Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
crypto exchange froze my withdrawal. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
The amount being held/disputed is approximately $4,364. I have tried contacting customer support 10 times with no resolution.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
I dragged my feet on getting legal advice and it cost me. Don't be like me lol
Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
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.
I've dealt with this before.
I had to go over their head/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said every case is different so take this with a grain of salt.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Obviously I don't know all the details of your situation though.
I went through almost the exact same thing.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
Dealt with this exact thing last year.
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.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
The #1 mistake I see here is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
Following this - also dealing with LP token tax treatment questions.
Make sure you're tracking cost basis correctly. That's where most people mess up with yield farming.
I use TokenTax and it handles most DeFi protocols automatically now.
