Hello there, I have been working on an app start-up and found a devopler for it last July. It was going smoothly until this year. The devopler started working on other projects and will not return my calls, texts, or emails. I have paid him around $8,000. He is legally part of the business and has equity. We do not have a formal contract about the actual app development. I do have emails saying that he would have it done by the end of the month with me paying him. I have records of me paying him said money. Can I sue for non preformance? Thank you for your time, Dustin Heimler
The emails constitute a contract if they say what you say, and can be the basis for a suit. You can get your money back. You cannot force him to work for you.
