No, not in Ohio. You can find more information about contracts on any University and/or College Law Library website or within the codes located on 'Anderson Online' website.When one of the parties to an oral contract has filed the matter w/a Court to enforce it, most Courts usually refer to the Ohio Contract Codes as reference to the transactions and/or agreements agreed to and/or breached to determine a ruling.AnswerWith specific reference to the above answer I would be VERY CAUTIOUS about the general statement that verbal contracts are enforceable in the state of OHIO. In just two minutes I found two references (1) Certain types of verbal contracts are not enforceable in Ohio, including the sale of land and answering for anther's debt. And, (2) verbal contracts for amounts in excess of $500.00 are not enforceable. In any case - - regardless of wherever it is that you live, research this question carefully before making any serious commitments either verbally or in writing, all state's laws address this matter differently.AnswerTo say that 'oral contracts' are enforceable in a certain state is misleading. Oral contracts are enforceable. The difficulty always lies in proving their existence. Convincing evidence that a contract existed between the parties must be presented to a judge. The burden of proof lies with the plaintiff. The best evidence is witnesses who were present at the time the oral contract was made and are willing to testify under oath. The judge will hear any testimony about the conduct of the parties. Credibility plays a role in the judge's decision and some judges have developed excellent skill in determining whose story is more credible.The bottom line is that not every oral contract is enforceable, only those where the moving party can provide enough evidence to convince a judge that a contract existed and was breached.

Why cant a oral agreament for a change order or add on for home inprovements be upheld in ca.?
By "legal" I assume that you mean binding. Any contract is an enforceable agreement between two or more parties. Whether written or oral, if the Court can identify the bargain and ascertain that there is consideration (something of value) the Court can enforce the contract.The contract is either binding and enforceable or it is not. Whether it was written down or simply an oral agreement does not matter.If the Court cannot determine what the actual bargain was, the court will likely conclude that there was no contract. With a written contract, the Court may find that a term in the contract was ambiguous. It can then solicit testimony from the parties as to what they meant by that term.For the person seeking to enforce the contract it is always better to have an actual written agreement that can be placed before the Court. The Court will be more certain that there was, in fact, a contract. For this reason oral agreements can be more difficult to enforce. Also, the Statute of Frauds requires certain contracts (such as for the sale of land) to be in writing.Edward X. Clinton, Jr.2009
