Hello ****. In Ohio, the law views this as a civil matter, not criminal. They might sue for money but criminal charges are unlikely. If they continue to threaten, speak to a local attorney. You have rights even if you've breached the contract.
Ok thank you so much
You're welcome, ****! Remember, if you need further legal assistance, consider reaching out to a local attorney. They can provide more specific advice and guidance on your situation. Take care and good luck with your surgery.
