What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
Keeping it short.
My questions are:
1). What is the best type of action we should take here?
2). What is the most affordable way we can go about obtaining a judgment?
3). We will likely of course try to reach an agreement again but want to proceed with enforcing the agreement if unable to settle?
4). Would anyone do this lawsuit on a commission basis?
5). The company I assume should be liable as well since they allowed the former employee to use their e-mail to conduct communications even after firing him, is this correct?
Keeping it short.
- Statue of limitations is running out.
- Individual in violation currently resides in Maryland.
- Individual representing Company based in New York and we signed 1st Agreement in February 2008.
- Paid a sum of around $12k during a 2 month period.
- No results so we requested a refund. Individual ceased communications.
- We later found out that he had been fired from that company PRIOR to signing the agreement and using the company e-mail and information.
- We confronted him and he agreed to work with us to try to meet our needs still. However shortly after he ceased communications again in Late 2008.
- We went back to the company again and they made legal threats.
