I suggest talking to an employment rights law firm that specializes in discrimination and termination. Most law firms will offer an initial consultation free of charge and will let you know if you have legal standing to initiate a suit. Non-government employees may file a lawsuit to have his/her employment termination found to be wrongful. If sufficient cause is established, the inquiry into the employment termination will be closed and the termination completed. However, wrongful termination can result in an employer being held responsible for back wages with interest, reinstatement of employment, and often for punitive damages assessed as a deterrent to other employers. If your initial consultation suggests that you have a legal cause for action, some lawyers may take your case on a contingency fee basis.
You may also want to contact your area's Neighboorhood Legal Services to see if you qualify for free legal services. Good luck.
