I need some legal advice.

Last June I contacted an owner of a domain site and asked if he would be interested in partnering with me. I will build the site and he wouldn't have to do anything. In return he would get a % or revenue. So after 2 months of me working on it, the guy stops returning my calls or emails. There was no written contract, just an exchange of emails and phone calls. He was suppose to get a contract written up while i built the site.

Can i take any legal action against him? We are both in the united states.

I see the biggest problem being that you don't have something to base the percentage you are due on since the guy won't give you the numbers.

That your services would be worth $x is of little matter since the agreement was not based on that.

I see ALOT of legal footwork needing to be done to pursue it.

In any event, here's a link to a guy I met on another forum; he specializes in internet legal issues. He may be of some help:

Hello Techdude:

Here's your problem. Should you ever get to court, he may very well cave and admit you're his partner, which will get you nothing unless you can prove he made some money, which you probably can't do because he controls the books, and can doctor them if they are subpoenaed.

I don't see you getting any money back, but you might get the domain name. That could be worth your trouble - and it's going to be LOTS of trouble.
