I have a 5 years employment contract (2 years left). There are no any words regarding to termination. Now I want to quit job here. The company lawyer told me they want to sue me if I quit job because I breach the contract. One more choice is staying here. Is it leagal in California?

It seems unusual that an employer would hold you to a contract. However, because this will involve looking closely at the contract you signed, I strongly suggest you contact an attorney in your state.

The part of contract is shown below, I signed this in March 2003. I do not think this is a five years contract. But company said this is a 5 years contract.

That doesn't seem to hold any employee in virtual bondage. However, I'm not aware of the entire arrangement. Therefore, you should talk with an attorney.
