Legal Question in Employment Law in Utah

I hired a neighbor to work for me and after working for 6 months He went to work for a compeditor. I asked him to sign an independant sales contract but he kept putting it off as well as adding things like 401 k and severance pay. Which I told him to take out. He never signed it and therfore we are left with a verbal contract. I paid him $4000 a month 5 months and now he is wanting me to pay him for the last month ..... Per our "contract" he didn't complete all the work

, I had to have someone else compete it, which I paid. He has hired an attoney and is sueing me for $4000 am I liable to pay in your oppion?

Without knowing all of the details there is no way to project a result. However, if he breached the terms of your agreement, then you should prevail. Get all of your supporting evidence assembled and get prepared to defend your case with facts and evidence. You may want to counter sue him for the work he did not complete.
