You Need an Experienced Non-Compete Law Attorney:

Non Compete Agreements—What you Need to Know: For an employee who is being asked to sign a non-compete agreement, it is advised that you are absolutely certain you understand the terms of the agreement before signing. For an employee who has already signed a non-compete agreement and is unable to work due to its boundaries, you may have options if, for example, the terms of the signed non-compete agreement are too general or broad.
