Employment contract

[Jaic]

I have been a PR for approx 8 months.

I was placed at the client site by a third company(Company B) through the company that got me my GC(Company A).

I am planning to leave my company, join another company(Company X) who will place me at the same client site . The reason they can do that is because the third company(company B) is no more a preferred vendor. So client cannot/or have the right not to renew their contract and they can employ contractors from these companies w/o breaking any rules

I had signed a non-compete with Company A which basically said I cannot work for the Company B, or its clients. Company A does not want to let me go because they feel it be a loss of income for them. Is it something they can sue me for?(BTW they earned a lot on me because they gave me raise just twice :-( , broke agreements regarding benefits )
Also I am not joing the Client, but Company X which may place me at the client site.

Currently I am based in Florida

Your input in this matter will be extremely helpful

Thanks

Jay

(I am also planing to talk to an employment lawyer)

Based on the state laws non compete agreements may or may not be enforceable. Your best bet is to consult an attorney practising employment law.
