What kind of attorney is needed for possible law suit for failed business venture?
|
We're in California:
a friend of mine rec'd an email with an invoice for $17,500 from a former boss.
In the email, he states that my friend agreed verbally to 50/50 on the business and because business failed, this is her portion of the bill. My friend says she never agreed to 50/50 and never signed any documents confirming that. This business venture lasted 6 months and she worked for him. While working for him, he told her to invest in the business and she would have to supply her own...supplies, which she did and she was never paid a salary. When venture closed, he returned her minimal investment and he called it even.
So, what kind of attorney is needed? There also might be visa issues. I'm not familiar with visas but her visa status is the one where you can't work or don't work. Because she was working "under the table", former boss has basically threatened to call Immigration if she doesn't pay the invoice.
So, who should we call first? Thanks!

Don't call anyone. You don't need an attorney yet. The "ex-partner" has not taken any legal action. If he feels he has a case, he'll sue, but right now it seems that he's just trying to bluster your friend into paying up.
I wouldn't worry about threats to go to immigration. If the guy was aware of any visa issues, then that means he knowingly employed someone who could not work in the country legally. That would put him in jeopardy.

civil attorney is the type of attorney that handles any civil law, which your business issues fall under. you can go to the state bar's web site for whichever state the business is located in, and you should be able to search for civil attorneys in your area. and then you might make a few phone calls to them and they might refer you to someone that really handles your need. and you'll eventually get connected with a good attorney that you're comfortable with, and you can go from there. it may all start by visiting the state bar web site of the state your business is located in. |
