Many people attempt to do this and fail. More would need to be known about your particular case.

Q: If I signed a non compete contract for a business in Minnesota, is it still valid if I move to North Dakota?

Firstly, some noncompete contracts are invalid as a matter of law and not worth the paper they’re written on. Secondly, no attorney can answer this question without actually seeing the contract.

You are way over your head on this and need a defense attorney. No attorney can give you a real answer until they see the charging documents and evidence. Even if the charging documents made an error, the evidence could negate that error.

You should retain a lawyer to assist you. If your story occurred as-described, you likely have a claim. Attorneys like myself assist people who are wrongfully terminated for similar reasons.
Q: What should I do if I'm injured in a car accident and the other driver leaves the scene before I can get his/her info?

You will need an attorney to help you investigate the claim. Many attorneys who do personal injury claims (like myself) do not charge for investigation of the case. However, the willingness of an attorney to take on your specific case depends on the injuries sustained and likelihood of recovery. What types of injury did you sustain?
