If two people, in front of an attornery, come to a verbal agreement. How much weight will this hold if it is disbuted?
Verbal agreements are not binding anywhere.
No, a contract must be in writing. (You can lie all you want to!)
What you are creating is more of a "Gentleman's Agreement" than a contract. It is not legally binding but depending on the conditions, if both parties trust one another, it could work for a simple room agreement.
It depends upon what you are talking about. For real property contracts, the buying and selling of land, no, a verbal is never enough. You should consult an attorney in your state for specific details.
Not unless you have a recording of the phonecall as evidence and a judge rules in your favor.
An verbal agreement is something two or more parties have agreed to do, agreed not to do or an arrangement made verbally and not in writing. In some jurisdictions a verbal agreement can be binding if there are truthworthy witesses to it, in other jurisdictions it may not be binding.

A properly written contract, signed by both parties, is tangible evidence of an agreement that is indisputably "legally binding".Generally, the problem with verbal agreements is that there is no evidence they exist. There is only a "he said, and he said" situation. In order to bind the other party to a verbal agreement, the moving party would need to bring an action in a court of equity and provide the judge with enough outside evidence that there was a verbal contract between the parties and the other party has breached it. Without compelling outside evidence such as witnesses, the judge cannot find that any contract existed between the parties.
It is a verbal or written agreement between 2 consenting adults.
