Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Breach of Employment Contract

I signed a Travel Nurse contract with a company to work a 13 wk contract. It was cancelled when I failed a test that was never mentioned prior to my signing. I was given 48 hrs to vacate housing. I moved to Florida from NY and had no job nor place to live so I stayed in housing for 2 weeks while looking for work and housing. I am being billed for 2 wks housing and threatened with litigation for nonpayment and breach of contract. I believe they are the ones who breached the contract, not me. Per the contract, any court procedings must take place in Chatam County, Georgia. I need to find a lawyer who is willing to take this case as I want to sue for the amount of money I would have made during this contract had I been allowed to work, plus punitive damages as this has been emotionally distressing to me and caused me additional financial hardship. Please, if there is anyone out there who can help me, contact me ASAP. Thank you
