My question involves court procedures for the state of: Oregon
Hello,
I have a lawyer but wanted a second opinion on this matter. In September of this year, we issued a demand letter to my previous employer's attorney for sexual harassment I suffered by the owner while employed. We attended mediation court and agreed on a settlement in the court of Lane County in Eugene OR. It was a verbal agreement taped in the court room. All funds were to be paid to me by October 13, 2010. The employer has defaulted each time and only paid a tiny fraction due to "not having enough money" and "waiting on funds" everything was documented via email between all parties and our attorneys. Now my attorney informed me last week that an "involuntary bankruptcy" has been filed by previous employees of the employer and creditors. My attorney also stated we cannot sue him as of now and that we might never see the funds agreed upon. What are my rights? Can he go to jail for failure to pay and defaulting the agreement?
