I had to sign a 5 year non compete clause for a company and was forced to resign after only two months due to a disagreement about giving a client a refund. I felt the client should have gotten a refund because the company could not help him, but the other person disagreed. Because he is close with the CEO, I was forced to resign without anyone ever hearing the details of what happened. There was no physical confrontation or yelling during this disagreement. I actually told him that I was not going to argue because I was at a point where I realized the company was a fraud. I developed a better way to serve these clients. I will not use any of their strategies and do not even plan on offering the same service nor will I contact any of their current clients. I am only concerned that if it is catering to there potential clients do they have a case? Also do not know if this is important but I was the only Af. Amer. that worked in the building. contact me if you need further information.

Non competes are usually pretty worthless. They really don't stand up in court anyway. So just do what you want and take a chance. I don't think they will sue you anyway. You also hold the race card and can say that you were discriminated against if they give you any trouble. That always works in this country.

From what you said, you might have signed a legally binding contract. If you want to breach that contract, you either have to find a lawyer to help you do so, or breach it and then find a lawyer to help defend you against the lawsuit by the company. You're choice.

Before answering your question, I would have to read the document you signed.
