Legal Question in Employment Law in Ohio

Non-competance lawsuit by employer

Question Text: My X-employer filled a lawsuit against

me for taking his client and for not

giving 30 days notice. (I gave 2 weeks

notice.)

The case is on trial by May 14th in

columbus, OH court since my employer is

from Columbus OH.

* I have signed a contract with them.

* But they breached the contract first

by not paying me the salary when I was

in bench.

Now my X-employer is asking $2000 to

signoff from the case. I have already

spent $1500 for lawyer expenses and

my $2100 salary is still pending from

them.

Should I pay them $2000 and close it off

or fight against them?

My arguments are

* X-employer breached the contract by not paying my salary.

* Mistreatment by them.

* I signed my contract when I was in India.

* And I never been an employee of their client. I was only a contractor.

Please advice me on this.
