To completely answer the question, I would first have to review the contract. In general, non-compete agreements are enforceable. They do, however, have to be reasonable in both their geographic scope and length of time. Given your short time with this employer, even if it were enforceable, you may be able to work something out with them. Have a lawyer take a look at the contract and it may be worth your while to retain someone to negotiate a release. I'd be happy to look at this for you if you want to contact my office. 561 655 4211
