Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Recoving money owed by a company

I was a 1099 sub contractor for a California Based Corporation. Upon leaving this company I was owed near the sum of 10,000 dollars US still. The corporation's business license is suspended and the owner states he's no longer doing business as the corporation but as a sole propriotership of the same name. I was told that to sue him directly I would have to pierce the corporate vail, which would be easy as he basically used the business accounts as his personal accounts as well. It has been 2 months and I have not received any information back from him as to when payment would first be made.

Re: Recoving money owed by a company

Either sue or walk away, the choice is yours. You can file in small claims court for up to $7500, or Superior Court for the full amount.
