Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
I left my previous company and was sued civilly along with my current employer. The lawsuit is bs, but the recruiter who brought myself and another employee over verbally told us they would pay for our legal representation in all of this. They paid the filing fee as of now, but have been non committal on the attorney now. The company prepared all of our paperwork and gave it to us to file individually pro per with a denial across the board as it is all hearsay and false. The company is in the process of a buyout from one of their investors and I have a text from a few months ago saying "when the buyout is done then we can merge all together with our attorney". Does any of this legally show they are on the hook for our attorney fees?

No, and again your attorney should be handling this, not you.
