What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello Fellas,
I am in some untidy situation, I worked with my brother in operations department. He & his company has been sued for some unpaid wages, as far as claim goes plaintiff has been paid every single penny. But my question is Plaintiff's attorney has put My Brother, His Company, His Wife (since he files joint taxes) & ME.. Can they do that? I am not into ownership and does not own any part of his company. Its sole proprietorship.
More of my concern is if there is a judgement against company will it come to my name too? Since they have me as defendant.
What are my options to get my name out of that lawsuit.
Also if judgement comes against me what can I do afterwards? I planned to start my own business and in licensing process. If Judgement comes against us would it effect my credit?
Please advise.
