slik_17 asked:

Promotional bonus paid in Oct. 05, was not made aware or signed any documentation agreeing to a pro-ratia setup. July 08, recieved court papers notifying suit against me for non-payment. They now request atty fees and % of the bonus after I left. Suit papers were my first notice of the problem. No atty letter, no business letter, no letter of intent!! They also filed suit in the wrong parish. I agree to pay a settlement amt, I receive letter stating they would accept if I could pay in one lump sum. 3 months trying to locate who the money goes to, no response from the business or their atty. Receive call today that they want full amt plus their atty fees. How can they justify me paying that amt. Example : Is not any different than me purchasing a vehicle, taking it to my neighbor and telling them they owe money on a car note and I am going to sue if they refuse to pay. Signed Very AGGRAVATED FORMER EMPLOYEE I am to the point where I would rather pay another atty more money just so I don’t have to pay these other pricks anything.
For the record I am in Louisiana

    Great question. Totally incoherent, but great.

    The answer is “yes.” Esther S

    Your statement about hiring an attorney is a good one. Do it.

    You’re asking questions of law, and the answers may vary depending on where one lives. Charles G
