Legal Question in Business Law in California
Tattoo partnership
My brother was business partners with a man who is now plaintiff against me. Their partnership ended June 30, 1998. They also had received several eviction notices because they weren't paying the bills. I refused to enter into partnership with them. On July 30, 1999, I entered into partnership with my brother after his partnership had ended with the plaintiff. Now his ex-partner is suing me, claiming that I agreed to buy him out, which I did not.

Re: Tattoo partnership
You haven't provided a lot of specifics, so I don't know what I can say other than suggesting you talk to a lawyer and show him the documents you have. They might actually say that you did buy out your brother's ex-partner, although you have better information than I do on this subject.
If the former partner's suit is groundless, you may be able to get it dismissed early on. You could then go after him for malicious prosecution, but it doesn't sound like he has a lot of money to pay such a judgment.
Re: Tattoo partnership
As Mr. Hoffman said you haven't given enough information
to give a complete answer. Unless there is a written
agreement that you would not become partners with your
brother the man who is suing you has a groundless case.
