Legal Question in Employment Law in California

need experience letter from company but they refused

I worked one year at Atlanta based company A as full time employ they placed me as consultant in California at company B through another company C (there was an agreement in between me and company A on company letter head that I should work for them at least one year and I should not join end-client) I worked with them one year after that I joined company B (end client) as full time employ.

Now I need experience letter from company A, but he is refusing to give me experience letter.

Could you please let me know that, is it legal to refuse to give experience letter on this situation?

Thanks and best regards,

Misba
