Re: illeagal firing

If you're an at will employee - meaning that you do not have a contract - your firing was not illegal unless it was discriminatory (because of your sex, age, sexual orientation, relgion, race, etc.) or violates a public policy (because you either did something you had a legal right to do, or because you refused to do something you have a legal obligation not to do). Unless your termination falls under those categories, you have no claim against your employer.
