Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland
Do I Have A Case ??
I am unemployed and have applied to many different employers for work. I have interviewed and applied to companies that have conducted pre-employment checks, to include background and prior employment referrence checks. There is one former employer in particular who has engaged in the practice of giving a particularly great referrence while under their employ, and then giving a particularly lousy referrence all within the time frame of just one to two and half months apart.
This is unfair, illegal, unprofessional, and the basis for which I am bringing suit against the former employer. I have documented proof of such an incident having occured and am in the process of getting notarized sworn affidavits from the 2 entirely independent persons responsible for verifying information with regards to my former employment. I firmly believe that this dispicable display of malicious slander and assault of character by said employer has caused me to be denied offers of employment with many companies I have applied to, and am suing for damages.

Re: Do I Have A Case ??
Your question seems to be do you have a case. These types of cases are not easy to prove. More
facts are needed before one could even begin to evaluate the potential for success should, you
chose to sue. May I suggest that you contact a lawyer, lay out the facts contained in this question and then answer what will undoubtedly be a lot of questions designed to develop the facts more fully. Don�t try to guess what the attorney may ask, but rather go with the questions he or she may have. Many attorneys will grant you an initial consultation on a matter of this type, without a fee (I certainly would). You will have a better idea of where you stand after such a conference than any answer I suspect you�ll get at this point on the facts contained in your question.
