Can anyone recommend a good employment attorney in the Bay Area of Northern CA. Preferably in San Jose, CA

I am looking at hiring an attorney who does cases either pro bono or on a contingency case. I am low income and was laid off my job after they found out I had a disability. They claimed there was no work for me thus, their excuse for letting me go. The worse part is the next day I found my job in the help wanted section online. I would like a recommendation from someone who personally sued and won against a company. I believe my case is strong and I can win but ...I keep finding the lawyers that want $5,000 up front and I can not afford it.
Please help!

Thanks in advance,

P.S. I have a right to sue notice from the Department of Fair Employment and Housing - (if this helps)

Since Republicans want to make abortion illegal, I'm just wondering what their plans would be to support the huge boom of unwanted children. More Orphanages, what? We know for a fact they wouldn't considering changing the law so gays could take some of these children. So what's the plan? Or would these children be left to roam the streets uncared for?

I don't have a home phone anymore, neither do most of you. we all carry our cellphones with us. its easy to wiretap a home phone --becuz as soon as you leave your home the FBI will get in and wire stuff --but when you carrying your cellphone aside from contacting the cellphone company and trying to get permission -they can't do anything else I guess --what do you thing?

Even when the authority's have enough evidence that a criminal has been convicted of a certain crime, the judges still let them go free.

well i'm 17 and i've done everything the court has asked of me. i've got clean UA tests, i get straight a's, i had a job but just recently quit because everyone there was a meth user (gross), i've done all my community service, paid all my fines (with my money not my parents), and i haven't got in trouble with the law for a year. (it was a huge mistake getting in trouble in the first place) any ways i've done EVERYTHING they ask of me yet they won't let me off probation. now they just have me sign in everyweek and i've had a court date pop up today...which usually is an indication that i'm getting arrested for what ever reason they pulled out of their *** this time. (they just don't want to let me off) so really WTF do i do?! i even went to AA for three damn months even though i don't have a problem with drugs...and did some stupid *** counseling

"I disagree with what you have to say but will fight to the death to protect your right to say it." ~ Evelyn Beatrice Hall on Voltaire

(In his A Book of French Quotations (1963), Norbert Guterman suggested that the probable source for the quotation was a line in a 6 February 1770 letter to M. le Riche: ``Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.'')

I don’t know the research but I give credit to the quotation research source:

I got a rebate check for something I purchased. Now, I just got a letter saying they sent the check for the wrong amount, and I need to send them a check back for the difference. It's kind of a significant amount. Is this legal? (I'm in Missouri, if that matters.)
