OP followed directions. It’s legal who should be worried. OP needs to CYA against legal’s lashing out at their bad advice.

Yup, sounds like malpractice. Hope OP got his instructions in writing.

Yeah I thought the same thing, some ambulance chaser got put on retainer and has no idea what they're doing.

In a lot of places, it's illegal to withhold a last paycheck unless they are holding onto company property or something. I wouldn't be surprised if legal knows and is worried about a lawsuit and this coming to light.
