Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Employment as Physician in Training
I'm was contracted to work at BMI as an Oculoplastics Fellow to learn skills in the field of oculoplastics. They hired me knowing that I don't speak spanish and it turns out they require spanish in their advertisement wish I didn't see. My education has been hindeed by this as well as placed me in uncomfortable situation as physician trying to get patient history etc. I've been accepted to havard to do a two year oculoplastics fellowship and will be leaving my contract early. BMI will be enforcing contract requiring me to pay back future salary...approx 90K. I'm hiring legal council to get me out of contract. My angle is the educational environment with spanish only speaking patient (99.9%) and spanish only speaking staff 85%. also my benefit were never explained nor did i recieve my medical benefit per contract until 7 months into my employment. they are also requiring me to pay for malpractice tail coverage (24K). this has been a dissapointing experience and I want to see if I can find a way for breach of contract for benefits and misrpresentation of the fellowship with regard to language barrier etc.

regards

There is not really a question here. You have a lawyer who will be able to see the relkevant documents and you should rely on him or her.
