Re: Can they Do this?

Without a contract, unfortunately you are not in a strong position. New York is an employment-at-will state. If you'd like I'd be happy to address your particular situation if you'd like to call for an appointment.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
