Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California

Former employee takes down my websites

I have a former employee who quit 11/12 and was paid for a full week of work (11/6-11/12). He then insisted on 2 more hours payment for some work he finished Monday. Not only was the work performed Monday supposed to have been performed the previous week, but I found out yesterday that the previous week's work was no where near complete. If anything he owes me work and/or a refund. Long story short, he took 2 of my websites down over $60 when he has made over $6000 since August with my company.

I have proof of his actions (logs of when the site was last accessed) and would like to know if I have any case for legal action. If nothing else, I would like to send him a stern letter from a law office stating that if he ever does such a thing again, legal action will absolutely be taken. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Re: Former employee takes down my websites

This is not probably a question of intellectual property, so much as harassment or something along those lines. Regardless, he is affecting your website, which does belong to you, not him, if he was an employee at the time of making the website. Regardless, my office can help you with a legal letter if you think it would help.
