Also, if the contract was for a year (for example) you will probably have to pay only three twelve’s of that. IF IF IF they win a judgment.

Don't even hire a lawyer. Study up a little and make your case if you go to court. How much is the total contract? $20,000? You might be required to pay $5000. But remember, you can't get blood from a turnip.

Be aggressive with these pricks. Training contracts are BS. I can make an argument that they amount to indentured servitude (slavery). How much did you make the first year? If you subtract the cost of the contract, you worked for free or below min wage.

Don't let this speed bump derail your career.

Can they try to collect lost profits and other stuff if I leave.. I know what you mean by blood from a turnip, but isn't it possible that my wages could be garnished.
