Your better course of action for a wrongful termination case is to file a complaint with your local EEOC office. (Equal Employment Opportunity Comm.) There is no fee to file and if they find there is merit to your complaint then they will issue you a right to sue letter that you can take to an attorney and it puts you that much further ahead with the case. Evidence is already submitted, you already have information turned in and at your disposal. You will save billable hour time with an attorney this way, and they will most likely take the case on a contingency basis - no fee to you unless they win. If you have the letter from the EEOC the attorney knows there is some "teeth" to the case and are more likely to take it on. |

Without more info on why you were terminated, it's hard to tell. If the termination was due to some protected class like gender, race or age over 40, talk to someone at EEOC - if they feel you have a case, they'll investigate it at no cost to you. If your termination was for some other reason, under employment at will you probably don't have legal recourse unless you have an employment contract and it was violated.
If you want to post again with more info on the termination, someone can probably give you a better idea of whether or not you have a case. |

kinda depends on what they said u were fired for and also if u are an "at will" state which means that unless it falls under some rather narrow paramiters of discrimination or something like it, that they can fire u at will with no reason given |
