Contracts
Cease and Desist
New Jersey
I have a cease and desist letter
I have a cease and desist letter I need help
Matthew S.
Cease-and-desist letters come in many varieties, depending on what do you want to stop. Some are contract violations. Some are violations of your property rights. Others involved harassment of your person or property. I can write a letter for you based on my 37 years worth of experience.
Contracts
Employment Agreement
New Jersey
Cost to review employment contracts?
My sister looked them over briefly (she's a lawyer in AZ) and said she had some concerns on the one document, but to find an employment lawyer in NJ that specializes in contracts.
Matthew S.
The cost to review will depend on document size. Five pages or less $150. 5 to 10 pages $300. More than 10 pages $30 per page. All reviews come with a memorandum discussing compensation, terms of employment and unusual items, (Things like non compete provisions, non disclosure agreements, etc. )
Contracts
Confidentiality Agreement
New Jersey
Do confidentiality agreements hold up in court?
I am being asked to sign one.
Ramsey T.
Courts will uphold all agreements between parties provided they are validly made, even confidentiality agreements. So first you must ensure that the confidentiality agreement is a valid agreement. Once you have assured yourself of that, you need to look at what sort of "breach" you might want to claim if you are considering going to Court. The issue, in the event that you do go to Court, will be - what are the remedies that the Court will provide in order to remedy the "breach". Will the Court provide for "damages" or issue some sort of "injuncutory relief" or other sort of order that the breaching party will need to fulfill.
Contracts
Demand Letter For Payment
New Jersey
I provide$5000 deposit to reserve an apt for my mother in an ALF. Was gold it would be returned if she needed a higher level of care, which she did. they refused to refund
When I asked why they could not reimburse even part of the deopost becasue she needed a higher level of care, they then told me that the $5000 had already been paid to the attorney who propared the promissary note. I have researched the cost of promissory notes and they run at abbout $575 max, I then asked if tthat money could be put toward her goin to the faciity once she had become more stable and they said they would look intoit and never got back to me.
Michael J.
I am sorry to hear about this situation. Your rights will be primarily dictated by the terms of the contract you signed when you gave the deposit, as well as any subsequent written communications with them. Assuming the terms therein are favorable, a demand letter from an attorney setting forth what specially you want from them and why it’s permitted is the best chance you have of getting this resolved quickly in your favor.
Contracts
Recruitment Agency Contract
Washington
Is it legal for a recruiting agency to charge a fee for providing a candidate who was previously referred by another agency?
I recently engaged a recruiting agency to assist in finding a suitable candidate for a position at my company. However, another agency had previously referred a candidate who I ultimately hired through the new agency. Now, the first agency is claiming that they are entitled to a fee for the candidate, even though they did not actively participate in the hiring process. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the new agency to charge a fee for providing a candidate who was previously referred by another agency.
Merry K.
I'm sorry to hear about what seems like a complicated mess. I suggest that you carefully review the contracts from each agency. The types of questions a contracts attorney would look for would include whether or not you're obligated to the first agency for referring a person and whether or not the second agency may be on the hook to the first agency for referring an employee signed up with the first agency. I'd want to know the time limits for referrals - eg, if the first agency's contract says that you would be obligated to pay them for a hire within "x" amount of time after referring the candidate. To my knowledge, this is the only chapter of Washington State law to review, that is on point: https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=19.31 It's often possible to negotiate a settlement in these types of situations. The first agency wants to be paid for their time/effort, which is reasonable, especially if they had a contract with you, but you may be able to settle (if you do, be sure to get everything in writing - that they release you from further liability). If the second agency is somehow at fault, you may be able to get them to reduce the fee they charged you, and/or pay the first agency some or all of the first agency's fee. I hope this has been helpful. This is not the kind of project I take on anymore, but you should be able to find a great employment attorney through ContractCounsel.com if you need one to help you navigate.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
