Verbal Agreement
Averbal was made between my employer and myself two years ago. It has become clear to me that he has no intend on following through with it. The agreement was being drawn up by his attorney but some how has never been complted. He has benefitted from my servidce. At this time I am ready to quit and accept an offer with another company.
Do I have a right to sue for all monies owned from the verbal agreement?

Re: Verbal Agreement
If there is enough money at issue to justify hiring an attorney, contact me to discuss. You will need some evidence of the terms of the agreement. The employer may be willing to settle the situation without a lawsuit, and may not contest the agreement if approached correctly by your attorney.
Re: Verbal Agreement
An oral agreement may be enforceable.
You should consult an attorney to review the facts and advise you on how strong a case you have.
Re: Verbal Agreement
A true verbal agreement is a binding enforceable contract. But they are difficult to prove. If you have witnesses to verify that a firm committment was made and supporting documentation, you may be able to succeed. If it is just your word against the employer's, you may be throwing good money after bad.
