Free legal advice is worth what you pay for it. I am a lawyer in Michigan. Non-competes are generally enforceable as long as they don't unreasonably restrict a persons ability to work. Your non compete isn't really a non-compete - it's a contract that says you won't steal their clients. Somebody here called it a "non-solicite" clause - which is a term I have not heard - but makes sense in a practical sense.
Even without this clause you could be sued for tortious interference with an advantageous business relationship. I've been on both sides of litigation with lawyers, doctors, Etc. (dentists are the
worst). Get a good lawyer, take his / her advice. Proceed carefully.
