An employee of an auto rebuild shop offered me to go in on a car. He would put in half and I half, he works on it, then sells it and we get the money we put in+the profit. Five months and over four different excuses later, i have not seen the money and am contemplating getting a lawyer. Would this be small claims? Should I sew the company? Notify the owner? Take the employee to small claims and leave the business out of it?
