Hey all...not one to air my laundry all over the place, but i've got a quick question. i was recently terminated from my job (equipment sales), upon my termination my supervisors said that the 18 month non-compete would go into affect. My question is...since they terminated me, don't I have a right to work in the state of Colorado? So i guess what i need is to have a lawyer look at the document signed and see if they have any legal grounds or if i can start talking to competitors and getting back on my feet?

thanks in advance,
Travis

P.S. Since i'm out of a job...i don't really have a whole lot of money to pay for a lawyer, but i really don't need the advice of an arm-chair lawyer, just seeing if anyone has a connection with someone that might be able to help me or give me some advice.
