Small Business/Contracts Law - Question about partnership


Expert: A. Hall, Minnesota Attorney - 9/28/2008

Question
Hi  
Maybe you can answer a question for me.  I went into a small wedding partnership (New York) and the only proof I have is a check I wrote out to her for $12000.00.  In the memo I wrote partnership.  I was promised accounts that never came about.  I had this business from October 2006 until January 2007.  I also had a baby in between and after what was promised from the business didnt pan out I went back to work.  I was told that I would get paid back.  Finally, In March of 2007 she had someone else buy into the company for $25,000.00  With this money she informed the NEW partner that she would be paying me back.  Well as of today I was never oaid back and I just found out from this partner she did the same thing too.  Promises that never came about.  So since their are two people do we have a leg to stand on??????
Thank You for all your help
Gina

Answer
From what you have told me, you and your partner had a contract, and your partner has breached the contract and violated her fiduciary duties to you as a partner. You should speak with an attorney ASAP about your options (lawsuit, etc.) to get your money back.

The other partner (who is out $25,000) should do the same thing.
