re: #279 Dark_Falcon

Calling the lawyer requires money. Employment lawyers won’t even see you about a wrongful termination case without cash or a certified check up front, and even if they are sure about the case they’ll insist on a 4-digit retainer. Wrongful termination cases are hard to win, especially since disobeying the illegal order may not be the stated cause of termination.

Many lawyers accept wrongful (ETC) termination cases on a contingency basis, if they feel the case is worthy of pursuing. They always take 1/3 of the proceeds if it can be settled, 40% (at least) if it goes to court.

At least, that’s done in NC.
