Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California

Re: Can I win over a corporation with a verbal agreement?

if you are able to prove the existence of this oral agreement in such a way the court can fashion a damages or equitable remedy and is not violative of the statute of frauds, you will be able to prevail in this unfortunate matter and receive justice. if you would like further assistance, email us directly today

Re: Can I win over a corporation with a verbal agreement?

O.K. Here you go:

A verbal agreement is generally going to be enforceable (with some exceptions). However, the problems you get into with verbal agreements is one of proving what exactly the agreement was.

You have an automatic we say-you say what the agreement is. Thus, you tend to get a situation that is costly to pursue since I would have to handle it on an hourly basis (paid for the time I work) instead of contingency(pay my fee only when something is recovered).

With respect to your husband testifying, he is not disqualified from testifying. The problem is that there is a built-in credibility issue over his testimony as his being married to you automatically puts his bias into question.

Thus, I fear you face a somewhat uphill battle. It would help if you had documentation to support your position on what you were supposed to be paid. This could be correspondence from the other side, including but not limited to emails, letters, voice-mail messages, etc.

If you want to discuss this matter I would be happy to consult with you.

Re: Can I win over a corporation with a verbal agreement?

I apologize for the direct solicitation of my colleagues. It is not appropriate. You have been given good advice, however, the fact of an oral agreement, especially one that has had partial performance, is not that hard to prove. Of course, a writing would be better, but don't lose heart. As you have been told, your husband is not disqualified from testifying, and you might be surprised how well juries can tell the difference from one witness who is telling the truth and on that is not. I recommend you go ahead with pressing your rights.
