Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

I was let go yesterday. In accordance with my contract, I was to be given 30 notice. However, I was given a letter stated "your services are no longer needed" and I was told that I did not have to show up to physically work in the office and that I will still be compensated. However, the employer is requested a list of my marketing contacts because she claims they are "property of the corporation." Reading through my contract and then asking two lawyers in the family, it was determined that those contacts do not fall under the category of "confidential information" that I would have to return to the corporation. The employer insists that it is and that I will not receive compensation if I do not give her those contacts. In addition to that, I was advised to go into work until given notice in writing that I do not have to be in the office to be compensated. I requested the notice after getting both owner's of the corporation to verbally agree that I will be compensated and that I do not have to be in the office to do so. I requested written notice of that, but it has not yet come. Do I have a case against them?
