Re: What are my rights

I would need to know more facts and I would need to see all relevant documents to tell you whether he can kick you out of the company. If he legally transferred ownership to you, then he would have to follow the company rules and policy for getting rid of you. On a side note, it maybe possible to get reimbursed for moving expenses and related costs if he induced you to move to run the company.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

Re: What are my rights

You may have a valid claim against him but more facts need to be developed. You should consult with a local attorney.
