Getting therapy for the emotional damage from being unlawfully fired from a job almost two years ago.

There's 3 months left in the statute of limitations. My therapist really thinks I should go after my former employer for this shit.

Idk if I should. I am employed at an amazing place rn and can't really afford time off, but I also want justice for myself and anyone else who got the same treatment I did.

What do y'all think?

Yes.

Find yourself a lawyer that has good references with you know several tens of millions of dollars of successful verdicts in their favor that does we don't collect unless you win law services.

Even if they don't accept you, they will likely refer you to another lawyer that they have worked with in the past that they have good rapport with.

They'll probably take 35 to 45% of the win, but if they're good enough law firm there's a good chance your former employer will settle and you'll have cash in your hand within a year.
