A: A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's really up to you - an attorney couldn't make a decision for you. Without knowing anything about what your dispute involves, here are some issues that could be worth thinking about in making your decision -

- Is it worth your time to take off from work or school?

- If you are willing to consider taking the time off, what are your chances of prevailing?

- Is it worth your time to put together paperwork, receipts, email logs, or other proof to present?

- How important is the outcome to you - is it for practical purposes or other personal reasons?

- Is confronting the person again going to be worth the stress or aggravation?

There could be other reasons as well, whether it's a matter of practicality for you, or a matter of principle. These are only a few generic things to think of - there can be other factors as well, depending on the nature of the matter.

Hopefully, these could help you get started in your decision-making process. Good luck
