I have a friend who has recently been doing a load of freelance work for a previous employer who canned him. The employer has been a huuuuge pain in the ass, with ridiculous deadlines that were met, but then when later discussed "not met" completely confusing e-mails, borderline verbal harassment to boot and now he's thrown in the towel and the employer is claiming she wants to sue him for damages from unfinished work that he dropped.
Is this possible when there has been no signed agreement between the two?

if he didnt' sign anything, who's to say he did/didnt' do the work?

I suppose that's a way to look at it.

you can sue anyone for anything anytime you want, thats the beauty of the legal system
whether it has merit or whether the person will actually go through the time and funds to actually take it to court just to have it thrown out are different concepts... i wouldnt be worried

sounds good and messy, tell them not to worry. Also don't respond or it could be inferred to as some sort of understanding between the two.

yeah, if there is no contract, tell him to play it cool and stop communication.

Be a professional, act curteous and help them. Forward them to an alternate firm. tradeelectronics.com aka www.tradelee.org.
Tell them to contact them and ask for Karina Knausederova. She'll take care of them...

Counter sue with a few bricks through their front windows.

Buy a cheap bubblejet printer, empty the ink cartridge, fill it with your piss, then overprint your logo in piss on all correspondence to them.
Also, shit in a box.

Had big problems with this company. The first problem is that there is no company... only one woman running a pretty good scam. Read the whole story here...

Run away... get legal help... then fight back! Anything good news you hear that doesn't come from your lawyer or law enforcement is a lie. Karina WILL NOT honor her agreements. She would rather let the cops try to find her... she has won more times than she's lost and she is banking on you giving up.
