Legal Question in Employment Law in District of Columbia

Obligations of Parties in Non-Compete Agreement

I resigned from a former position in July, 1997 and believe I may have signed one or more non-compete agreement(s) either during the course of my employement or immediately prior to my departure. I do not have copies of the document(s).

Recently I asked my former employer whether any non-compete agreements remain in effect between him and myself. He indicated I most certainly remain under certain obligations but has disregarded my repeated requests for copies of any documentation. This puts me in a difficult position as I am honestly unaware of my specific obligations under the agreement(s).

My question is whether my former employer and/or his counsel are required by law to provide me with copies of the agreement(s). I am of course willing to bear the cost of reproducing the documents.
