Legally speaking, verbal contracts are binding, as long as they include 3 items: offer, acceptance and consideration. The problem, however, is proof of the promise that was made. Without witnesses, verbal contracts are extremely difficult to enforce, since in most cases, it turns into a "he said, she said" type situation. There are some attorneys that might work with you if there are other circumstances involved. But it's a long shot. Fifty years ago, someone's word was golden. But today, no such luck. In the future, don't trust anyone's word. -- 'Get it in writing.' Take care.
This must vary by State. I see verbal/oral agreements in Small Claims Court all the time and the rule of thumb here (in NY) very often is whether there was a meeting of the minds, if the agreement was beneficial to both parties AND if it makes sense to the Court. It's that simple but, again, it obviously varies by State.
