I got a Lawyer notice because of not taking job offer

[tony19842013]

I was contacted by a company for a Job opportunity for a different client. They said that they can do an H1B transfer for me if needed. I under went 3 rounds of interview and cleared all of them. There are 3 company's involved, which are
1)Company
2)they Loan me to their Vendor
3)their Vendor puts me on project to their client.

I confirmed them over an email that I will join the end client on 2-Sep-2014. I did not relieve offer/employment letter or signed any contract with company rep as of date. However, due to my personal reasons I informed them on 27-Aug that I will not be able to join them. I did not share H1B petition and other documents with them (Shared only current LCA and filled H1B questionnaire which had my personal details).

On 28-Aug their attorney sent me a letter asking me to join on 2-sep or face damages which I will have to pay and will take me more than next 10 years to pay. I did not respond to this email.
2-Sep I receive 2 letter from Attorney that I did not appear for the Job and I need to give them new dates else the company will have damages of $500,000+.

Both the letters are pretty threatening and they are not my employers as well.

I would like to know how to respond and contact of any Good Attorney in NY who can send a letter to them on my behalf.

Who paid for you to attend the interviews? Where did you attend from?

All you need to do is check with your county bar association, or visit a couple local attorneys and decide which one you want to hire.
Not a very hard task, OP.



Also, OP, please don't post new threads about the same subject.
Thank you.
