Anthony you pose a great question here. I personally don’t think that a witness in court is enough to back up a spoken agreement with confidence. The opposing counsel will try their hardest to discredit the witness on anything so as to prove their statement may not be trust worthy. Even if the witness is completely clean and trustworthy, theres no guaranteeing that a court will see them the same after some opposing counsel trying to skew their image. I personally beleive that a written agreement is the absolutely only way to ensure. I also feel that writing the contract may seem annoying at first but really once it is done, it’s done and you are covered.
