Employer Sued - Need urgent help

Hi There,

I worked for an IT consulting company in New Jersey, I resigned and joined another company cause of salary discrepancy. I had a contract for 18 months and I worked for 8 months. Sued me asking for Liquidated damages and etc. Yesterday I got court summons to reply back in 35 days. Here is what happened.

1. When I was in india they took money from me for H1B Visa filing. I have a company receipt. My husband is a witness for this.

2. They promised X amount of money in the offer letter/contract and they paid less than that.

3. I tried to solve my salary problem for about 3 months. I have all written proofs.

4. They did not pay me for my first month salary after I land in USA. They started paying me after a month.

5. They did not pay me so called ''Bench salary'' for about 1 month.

6. They harassed me a lot by calling night times when I was serving notice period. My husband is a witness for this.

7. They did not invested a single dollar on me. They didn't gave any training, relocation expenses or any equipment.

8. They held back some of my money with them. They are not paying me the money that they owe.

I will come and meet you will all proofs for consultation.

Re: Employer Sued - Need urgent help

You have a good defense and probably a counterclaim. Since you said that the matter pertains to NJ law and you are located in CT, I am guessing that the company is located in NJ. You will probably want to select a lawyer who is reasonably close to the court in which the matter is filed. If that is one of the central or southern counties, please consider my firm. Call or email.
