Broker Not Paying Commission

[Account Closed]

Due to a mistake that I made on paperwork [minor paperwork]...my brokerage decided to let me go and now my license is with the state [NY] until I find another broker or start my own...

I had 2 deals going prior to leaving broker...1 deal has been closed since 4weeks and 1 closes this week...I asked for the commission check via Email with cc'd attorney. Broker has not responded..

? - Can he keep the check(s) and not pay me at all?

? - Can he stop me from becoming an agent with another broker/starting my own?
