Lawyers who focus on labor issues often want class action suits - large groups of people fighting some issue, not individual cases. Why? Because getting you a job back doesn't pay as well as proving that a large company has discriminated against thousand of employees. An illegal termination is generally due to discrimination. This is hard to prove. Unless you have incredible documentation and proof the case is a long shot with no guarantees.
Check out Findlaw.com for a general overview of labor laws in your state. You can find lawyer referrals on that page as well. Good luck.

Sounds like to me you have not got the right Attorney yet. What advice did they give you...First list your facts, how much of the illegal firing can you prove. Do you have witnesses? Did you have a good work record. And what about the firing was illegal..Not enough information to give a good answer...Sorry.

Because it's is so hard to prove, unless you have a "smoking gun", so to speak, like a confidential memo, voice mail, email or something else that is completely obvious that you were terminated illegally. Lawyers like cases they can win. They lose money on cases that take a lot of time, and have a high probability of losing.

It is hard to win, employers lie in court, hard to get a big dollar settlement, on and on .... Helps big time if you have already won a Department of Labor case, which I have won 3, and can tell you, you need immaculate records, re: times, dates, events, etc.

because an employer doesnt need an excuse to fire you. Everyone gets canned illegally at least once, and attorneys know this.
