Legal Question in Legal Ethics in New York

contract break

I signed an employment contract under the pressure. I find out later I do not like this position. I told the employer that I did not want go. She said she stopped recruiting and paid the recruiter. She said she would have her lawyer speak to me. I am holding the original copy of contract because my name spelled wrong by one letter. And she sent contract back to me for notarization my signature after correction.

My questions are is there any time frame I can change my mind and break the contract? if not, do I have to pay all her expenses for her recruiting fee? And what is my responsibility for break the contract?

Most lawyers will not discuss the interpretation of your employment contract without having read it. If you wish to discuss this with me privately, please call to schedule a consultation: (516) 741-7799.
