Non Compete Question

I was part of a round of layoffs in August of this year. When I received my separation docs, my company sent me their Non Compete and said that I'd need to adhere to it. I had multiple opportunities in the same industry/space I was in but opted not to pursue those as I didn't want to include a new employer in the "drama".

The Non Compete states that I must not seek competitors in the space for 24 months and any state that they currently do business in (40 states) + any state they anticipate doing business in (?). I was in a mid-level Sales Leadership Role that oversaw 6 states.

I have decided to consult with an Attorney but that process is taking forever. Anybody have any advice? Anyone an Attorney? Thanks!
