Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Non-Solicitation Of Employees Agreement
I left Company A on March 1, and went to work for company B. Prior to my resignation 4 other people had left company A and went to work for Company B. Now company A is suing me for violating my Non-solicitation agreement. I have an Attorney who is being compensated by my current employer. One of the 4 who left Company A has admitted in a writtten statement that she was the one who advised the other 3 that there were positions at company B and the other 3 have also confirmed this. The Attorney for Company A is aware of all of this information but they still are continuing with the suit. At my deposition it was implied that this was a ''grand scheme'' thought up by me since I was the administrator for Companie A's office. My Attorney is now going to ask for Summary Judgement in the case. My question is do I have any grounds for a counter suit since this is obviously a personal attack on me and the suit has no merit at all.

Re: Non-Solicitation Of Employees Agreement
Is there some reason you are not asking your lawyer this question. He is familiar with the case and the facts. You have a lawyer. Don't ask an internet site for an answer when you have a lawyer that can and will advise you.
